Rollmantic - Free web widgets of Panorama and Object Movie
Rollmantic provides free tools for creating your own object movie and panorama web widgets. It is totally javascript-based( requires no Flash, no Java, no other plugin ), and works on IE, Firefox and Safari. The idea is initiated when I worked at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory as a student research assistant intern couple years ago. The project I was working on is called MBender which is something related to Remote Scientific Visualization. It was also the project of my graduate study at SFSU. A part of the project was to create a javascript version of object movie. The old version of my javascript code looks so bad and was hard to be used and re-used. Therefore I decided to rewrite the code and also add panorama capability into my package. Every project needs a name, so I just named it "Rollmantic." Don't ask me why. Rollmantic depends on Yahoo's YUI Library for some of the dom,event and animation functionalities. It also uses Google's ExplorerCanvas in order to make the panorama work on IE. Thank all of the awesome developers out there providing free and useful stuffs for the world.
