--------------------------------------- WorldView Version 2.1.0 - May 2008 Copyright Seeing Machines 2008 --------------------------------------- About This Release ------------------ This is the +0.1.0 upgrade of WorldView 2.0.0 that improves the quality of head pose visualisation when viewing data from faceLAB Link. Summary of Improvements Version 2.1.0 ------------------------------------- * Fixed avatar head size variability. * Head pose data is manipulated using quaternions to represent rotation. This avoids unstable results at extreme head angles caused by floating-point precision limits. * Improved speed and reduced memory usage when loading very large log files. Summary of Improvements Version 2.0.0 ------------------------------------- * Added recording functionality. Data can now be logged by WorldView to a binary file, or over the network by pressing the Record button. * Added "Stream Mode" selection, for quickly setting whether WorldView is receiving and logging real-time or accurate data. * Added world model intersections. WorldView independently calculates World-item intersections using the source data and the currently loaded world model file. This allows for re-recording of faceLAB data with a different world model file to the one originally used. Screen intersections are left unchanged from their original values * Windows shell integration. Double-clicking a .fll file in Windows Explorer causes WorldView to launch automatically and begin playing back the file. * Full-screen mode to view the 3D world display at maximum size. * Options dialog for configuring recording and display options. These options are saved when WorldView exits and restored the next time it is run. * Improved the accuracy of the 'playback speed'. * Added Experiment Time label to the playback controls window. * Cleaned up menu items to conform to standard Windows layout. * Fixed "Next/Previous Keyframe skips to wrong frame" [SP#640] * Fixed "Deadlock when clicking 'Forward One Frame' during playback [SP#637] * Fixed "Playback after skipping keyframes starts from beginning of file" [SP#783] * Fixed "Crash when loading an invalid logfile" [SP#749] * Numerous user interface improvements and fixes. Known Issues ------------ * WorldView cannot load files directly from a read-only medium such as a CD-ROM. A workaround is to copy the files to the local hard drive and read them from there.
