Mental Images Introduces RealityServer AppLab For Easy Setup And Sharing Of 3D Content On The Web

mental images, a global leader in rendering software and visualization tools, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the NVIDIA Corporation, today unveiled the RealityServer® AppLab™ toolset at the Imagina conference in Monaco. RealityServer AppLab allows users to upload 3D content within seconds, and to visualize, share and interact with it on any Internet connected device.

The graphical user interface, accessible through a standard web browser, is specifically designed to assist new as well as experienced users with the evaluation of the RealityServer web application service platform. An integrated documentation center guides developers through interactive tutorials and examples, showing them how to create compelling 3D web services that fit their needs.

“Here at Bertrandt, where we provide product development solutions for automotive and aerospace industries worldwide, AppLab easily introduces RealityServer’s technology to first time users and non-developers. It enables us to quickly achieve tasks that would have required plenty of manual work and a lot of training before,” said Christoph Martin of the 3D visualization team at Bertrandt. “AppLab is simple and intuitive and we have found that its integration of the documentation center is excellent. The ability to quickly integrate RealityServer content into web sites via Embedded Codes is also an outstanding feature.”

In addition to the complete feature set of RealityServer AppLab adds an easy to use management system and off-the-shelf viewing tools. Four key functions are provided by AppLab, all of which are easily found on the home screen of the interface:

• Configuration interface allows users to control operational settings of their RealityServer installation and restart the server as required
• Documentation, along with interactive tutorials and examples, is provided via the new Document Center system which unifies all RealityServer documentation in one easy-to-navigate location
• Content Management allows users to upload their 3D assets to RealityServer and automatically insert them into a viewing application which can be shared with other users over the Internet
• AppLab also continually monitors the status of the server

The RealityServer AppLab toolset can be either deployed on a local server or in the Cloud.
