Methods for using existing 3D software applications
Setred’s technology can readily be integrated with third party software solutions. Setred provides tools that make the integration fast and cost effective. Partners can choose between different integration levels:
Low level API: Setred provides an interface to the 3D display driver for changing settings and sending images to the display.
High level API: At this level Setred provides a graphics library including extensions to OpenGL, which facilitates effective rendering of multiple perspectives.
Setred volume rendering engine: Setred provides a full volume rendering component where the third party application sends volume data along with control methods.
Interceptor: For prototyping and testing Setred provides an interceptor. For many surface based applications it is possible to show the application on the 3D display without modification.
Software adjustment
The functionality allowed in 3D software is most often based on usage on 2D displays. In these cases some additional development is necessary to make use of the full potential the 3D display has. One example of such functionality could be the ability to move the cursor in the depth direction.
