We have joined the Open Design Alliance to develop CAD file support to 3D Wayfinder. With CAD support it will be easy to upload building drawing files and show them directly through web. 3D Technologies R&D (developer of 3D Wayfinder) is [...]

Currently we are developing features to insert external 3D models to floor plans. With this it would be possible to add these "little details" (like escalators, benches, trees or even cars). That make the floor-plans look realistic. The best thing i [...]

Some of our customers prefer a "Welcome" screen for their wayfinding application. Welcome screens are good way for inviting visitors to use wayfinding, it is also a page where you can show advertisements or welcome text. To minimize the load for kio [...]

Thanks to implemented deferred renderer it is possible to create and manage lights on 3D Wayfinder Administration panel. This means also real-time shadows, point-lights and multiple directional lights. Deferred rendering is an alternative approach t [...]

Now the JSON 3D model formats are also implemented in 3D Wayfinder. This gives us better browser-side loading time as browsers’ native JSON parser is faster, than parsing binary models in Javascript. The average gain in loading time is 55%, which [...]

What is the difference between 3D vs 2D wayfinding and what are the benefits of 3D floor plans? We have tested 3D, semi-3D and 2D floor-plans with our small focus-group and below is the short summary. To see the 3D floor-plans in action, p [...]

We have published overview of integration possibilities with other software. Also short description of 3D Wayfinder application server architecture. 3D Wayfinder is fully web-based wayfinding solution, with modular architecture, customizable [...]

We have released a new version of FRAK WebGL engine with support for JSON 3D model format. This decreases the browser-side loading time as browsers' native JSON parser is faster, than parsing binary models in Javascript, as we used to do so far. Of [...]

Here you can see the video of 3D Wayfinder application running on 4K lcd monitor. Tested project is really large (around 2000 POIs, 250k polys, 8k transparent polys, 60 materials), but we still have around 25-30 FPS, which is not bad. Of course the P [...]

Soon we will publish new responsive template for 3D Wayfinder. This template is created for devices like tablets and smartphones, but it will work also on PC-s or kiosks hardware. With responsive HTML we maximize the screen area where 3D maps are sho [...]
