Abstract

The present research project has as its objectivenew research technologies for the presentation of high resolution computerized animations accompanied by music, with a view to launching the product, which should result from this work, on the international market, in particular the United States. Since we are dealing with animations generated through 3-dimensional models, the main emphasis is being made on the study of emergent technologies in the field of real time rendering, such as Direct X®, OpenGL®, and, as well, in the language of VRML 2.0. The research project Stereotrips II is a continuation of the project Stereotrips, carried out in 1996, which consisted of a CD-ROM with stereoscopic animations accompanied by music. Ten stereoscopic animations were made, each with its respective musical accompaniment, run on a piece of software especially created for this purpose, on the PC-Windows platform in 16 bits programmed in VisualBasic language. This CD could also be played on conventional audio CD players. The software in this case used DLL routines freely distributed and created by the Autodesk company. The basic feature of Stereotrips is simply the stereoscopy of the animations, which provides the illusion of 3-dimensionalism on two-dimension support without the need for glasses or any other device, requiring nothing more than the common multimedia computer.
