OpenSG Browser Plugin

June 29, 2009

Well the summer has finally arrived, and I’ve finally got around to publishing this on the research groups website.  It is a small application making use of the Qt4 browser-plugin API to provide an OpenSG canvas within a web browser.  It wouldn’t take much effort to make it easily installable for users.  (Just statically link the whole thing into a single binary I’m guessing)

The advantage of using OpenSG rather than OpenGL as a canvas for web3d graphics is that you can build upon the scenegraph, take all of it’s functioanltiy, rather than you worrying about creating file loaders etc.  The URL for the plugin is http://novellab.brighton.ac.uk/?q=projects/opensgplugin

P.S. If anyone is able to help me solve https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qt4-x11/+bug/389441 it’ll be great.
