The recently developed audio features of jReality were presented at the International Computer Music Conference ICMC 2009 in Montreal, Canada.
jReality will be presented at the ACM International Conference on Multimedia 2009, as part of the Open Source Software Competition.
Beijing Hotel, Beijing, China
October 19-24, 2009
The video about the Berlin Mathematical School is part of the DFG Video Portal, and shows jreality running in the Portal at TU Berlin, Mathematics Department. The portal is a 3-wall CAVE-like installation with passive stereo 3D and head-tracking.
The jbullet physics engine has been integrated into jReality. The project also contains collision sound synthesis, based on Jass.

Test drive this webstart demo now.
Highlights
- Experience mathematical constructs as physical objects! You can even through things at them (middle mouse button)!
- Includes real-time synthesized audio. This may require a fast computer to run smoothly. You can turn off audio, uncheck “sound” in the “Main Physics Controls” Panel on the left.
- Comes with the necessary 3rd party jars and an eclipse project file for easy configuration.
The jReality tutorials released in July have continued to be developed further. The current selection of topics covers most of the necessary topics for working with the jReality scene graph. Please continue to report suggestions or corrections to gunn at math.tu-berlin.de
Highlights
- A new User tutorial: An introduction to using ViewerApp
- An expanded and updated Developer tutorial: An introduction to programming with jReality
Each tutorial example now includes a link to run as a Java webstart!
We have started to implement a new plugin system which makes creating customized jReality applications easier than ever. See Stefans talk. about his plugin API.
jReality is part of the Exhibition Imaginary – mit den Augen der Mathematik.
The exhibition will visit many places in Germany during the Math year 2008.

We have implemented the jReality VR viewer. It allows loading 3D arbitrary data files but also includes a set of examples, several interesting mathematical surfaces as well as the Matheon buddy baer. The whole GUI for this application can be immersed into the 3D scene, so this application is also fully usable in immersive 3D environments (CAVEs).
