New features and changes introduced in this version are
Virtual Reality Toolbox software Version 3.0 is supported on both PC and UNIX platforms.
Virtual Reality Toolbox software Version 3.0 now contains a VRML viewer. You can use this viewer on all supported operating systems. With the Virtual Reality Toolbox viewer, you can move between predefined viewpoints in a virtual scene. You can also control the navigation method, speed, and rendering of the virtual world. From the MATLAB interface, you can control the Virtual Reality Toolbox viewer better than other VRML-enabled Web browsers.
The communication between Virtual Reality Toolbox and VRML-enabled Web browsers is improved. You are now able to perform such tasks as controlling multiple objects in a virtual scene or setting multiple field values faster than before.
It is now easier to access and manipulate virtual world objects from the MATLAB command line. You can use dot notation to change object properties. Also, multiple field values are transferred between MATLAB and the Virtual Reality Toolbox server in a form consistent with their VRML representation.
If you are on a PC platform and you created your own object libraries in V-Realm while using Virtual Reality Toolbox software Version 2.0, deleting the MATLAB product deletes these custom libraries. You need to save these libraries before uninstalling the older version of the MATLAB product:
Save the contents of the <MATLAB root>\toolbox\vr\vrealm directory to another location on your system.
Install V-Realm using the command
vrinstall -install editor
Save the files from your old vrealm directory into the new vrealm directory.
MATLAB software Version 6.5 should have the same directory structure as your previous version of the MATLAB product. If the directory structure is not identical, search your system for vrbuild2.ini. Edit the relative paths within this file to reflect the directory structure of MATLAB software Version 6.5.
After you have moved your files into the new vrealm directory and customized your vrbuild2.ini file, do not reinstall the V-Realm editor. The command
vrinstall -install editor
replaces the existing vrbuild2.ini file with the default template file.
