It almost looks to me like an iPhone app was not published to the Apple app store, otherwise it would have been listed here in the Mobile section: http://freewrl.sourceforge.net/download.html IIRC John did quite a bit on the iPhone version, then switched over to Android and did publish an Android version. -Doug PS what do you think of the following as a concept, is anyone already doing this: SSR Server Side Rendering - you upload your web3d scene to a special server - then you get a URL for it which you record - from any Canvas-supporting browser (no webgl needed) you go to the URL and it renders a snapshot on the server, ajaxes the image to the client browser, and the image is positioned on the canvas. Then when you navigate in the web3d scene -by dragging a finger on a touch screen, or mouse- a 3D grid of lines drawn on the regular canvas appears and moves in response to your navigation to give you a sense of motion. When you lift your finger/mouse button, it sends the cumulative navigation pose change to the server, which renders another scene snapshot and sends to the client and it's drawn on the canvas. vs. x3dom - you can upload your old scenes with protos and script nodes - no changes needed - webgl isn't needed, just regular canvas, so InternetExplorer will work - no app-store app or browser plugin is needed |

Hi all; I am - literally - back home from a nice, quiet vacation in the USA. Did take my laptop with 2 un-SIMcarded Android phones, and I do have some changes to check in. Not much WiFi access in Ogunquit, Maine. Don - @work, I went from iPhone to Android maybe this time last year, as apple silently took away some WIFI monitoring ability I was using. Apple also charge $100.00/year to give software away, and at this point in time, I no longer feel like paying that. The recent OpenGL-ES2 changes that have gone in for Android should be 100% cross platform, so the iPhone port should compile ok still. I believe that the code for the front end is in the cvs tree; a simple Xcode build would show whether it compiled properly. Then, you need all the provisioning profiles, etc, for the iPhone, which means the $100.00/year account, and the provisioning profiles only last about a month. Not sure about the licensing agreements anymore with the apple app store, either. Anyone want to give it a try? It *is* still on my todo list, but focusing on getting the Android port up to 95% or 100%. JohnS. |
