Viewing visual|catalogues

Cross-platform Viewing
For end-users to view catalogues, the system includes a cross-platform pure JAVA applet, as well as a Windows viewer. Both are provided as part of the system, along with web page templates and other setup files, for royalty free distribution (subject to Licensing).

visual|catalogues Java viewer
This viewer is a Java applet (60K) that is called from a web page, and allows single or multiple catalogue collections that have been copied to your Internet site to be accessed and searched over the Internet on any Java enabled web browser on any system.

visual|catalogues Windows viewer
This viewer allows single or multiple catalogue collections to be accessed and searched on any Windows platform (95,98, 2000, NT4) normally without any installation or setup. The viewer can be set to access, view and use data and files from a local hard drive, over a network, and (soon) from an on-line source

The viewer can be shipped with and will provide access to your catalogue(s) directly off a CD-Rom or from a hard drive over a LAN (Local Area Network). For example you can create an autorun CD or CD Business card that will display your catalogue the moment it is inserted in the users CD Tray

If required your catalogue can also be installed on Windows systems with a setup routine (setup.exe) that we can provide. Installation features can include the addition of your catalogue to the Windows Start menu, addition of a desktop icon and the facility to allow users to install a catalogue, shipped by you on CD-Rom, to their hard drive.

A setup routine can also be created for you to install your catalogue(s) as a full OLE capable (server) application running from within and linking directly to other Windows OLE capable applications, such as AutoCAD. See below.

If you want to create an installable catalogue, contact us for more details.

virtual|catalogues viewer
Turn your 2D catalogue into a 3D virtual catalogue.

The system allows virtual|catalogues to be created (or visual|catalogues upgraded) to work interactively in the virtual 3D environment. virtual|catalogues allows an end user (e.g. an architect or designer) to access all the information of a normal visual|catalogue, but also to use 3D representations of catalogued items such as real products interactively in the 3D design environment. 3D Representations can be complete with materials and finishes for design visualisation. We believe this viewer to be the most advanced of its kind. It includes special routines to deal with different kinds of products in the 3D environment.

Product types ideally suited to and supported by the system include:-

materials such as
floor finishes:- carpet, tiles, lino, vinyl,
wall finishes:- paints, wallpaper,fabric,tiles,
fabrics for furniture and surfaces

furniture, fixtures and fittings of all sorts such as
tables, chairs, light fittings,
kitchen systems, fittings, and accessories,
office desking, etc.,

profiles such as skirtings and cornices

We specialise in creating special "virtual routines" to allow your products to be used sensibly in the virtual environment. Contact us for advice about your products.
