Jinx :: http://www.lsi.usp.br/interativos/nrv/jinx.html
JINX is a fully distributed virtual environments browser, which has a special support for commodity computer clusters and immersive visualization devices. It intends to be fast and easy to use to develop virtual reality applications based on the X3D format, enabling great flexibility for displays and interaction devices. JINX provides support for nodes synchronization and resources sharing, from Framelock to Datalock.
Web3D :: http://www.web3d.org
Web3D is the home of X3D, the format used in this project. X3D is a powerful and extensible open file format standard for 3D visual effects, behavioral modelling and interaction. It provides an XML-encoded scene. The XML encoding enables 3D to be incorporated into web services architectures and distributed environments, and facilitates moving 3D data between applications.
Interativos :: http://www.lsi.usp.br/interativos
Interativos is the group that built this project. It stays inside the University of São Paulo. Beside researches in Virtual Reality the group also works with Digital TV, Telemedicine, Content Creation and Entertainment.
Sponsoring:
Finep :: http://www.finep.gov.br
Promote and sponsor innovation and research in companies, universities, research centers, govern among others, to economic and socially develop Brazil. This is the most important sponsoring institute for our laboratory. It was responsible to sponsor the construction of our Cave, the first one in Latin America. Among many other projects

Intersense :: http://www.isense.com
InterSense, a leader in precision motion tracking, utilizes inertial-based technology to deliver fast, accurate, driftless motion tracking solutions free of the lag and jitter common to traditional motion tracking systems. InterSense's technologies, originally developed at MIT, have set a new standard in motion tracking by significantly improving upon the precision, performance and price of magnetic, optical and mechanical trackers. The Intersense is used together with the HMD enabling the user to see everywhere.
HMD :: http://www.i-glasses.com
i-O Display Systems, LLC ("IOD") manufacturers personal display devices and stereoscopic 3D products for both video and computer uses. Being lightweight and wearable, i-glasses provide a portable monitoring solution unmatched by any other device currently on the market. i-glasses is used in the HMD solution.

OpenSceneGraph :: http://www.openscenegraph.org/featuresngoals
The project was started as a hobby by Don Burns in 1998, as means of porting a hang gliding simulator written on top of the Performer scene graph running on IRIX to what was then a humble Linux PC. The Open Scene Graph is a open source high peformance 3D graphics toolkit, used by application developers in fields such as visual simulation, games, virtual reality, scientific visualization and modelling. Written entirely in Standard C++ and OpenGL it runs on all Windows platforms, OSX, Linux, IRIX, Solaris and FreeBSD operating systems. OpenSceneGraph was not used in this project, but this project is curios because has a very similar story to our project.
X3D-Edit :: http://www.web3d.org/x3d
X3D-Edit is a graphics file editor for Extensible 3D (X3D) that enables simple error-free editing, authoring and validation of X3D or VRML scene-graph files. Context-sensitive tooltips provide concise summaries of each VRML node and attribute. These tooltips simplify authoring and improve understanding for novice and expert users alike.
