VisualSHOCK MOVIE from Mitsubishi Electric America (Win95 / NT4) |

VisualSHOCK MOVIE extends the use of hyperlinks (or hotlinks) from text and images to digital video. VisualSHOCK MOVIE's MovieMap Editor uses Mitsubishi's advanced motion recognition technology which enables frame-to-frame image tracking through a very easy to use graphical interface.
You can create video hotspots within your animation or video that hyperlinks additional media, including text, sounds, pictures, URLs, other videos, and even executables, creating an interactive video component for your presentation or Web page.
Note that you need a relatively high powered system to run this software productively.
There is also a plug-in for Netscape that you can install.

Active Worlds (Win95 / NT4) |
|
Immerse yourself in this virtual world and its 'avatar' inhabitants. Active Worlds is a growing and developing online society where you can create your own neighbourhoods, meet up with friends or make new friends, take part in activities, travel... well, it's like life, except you're just a 3D arrangement of pixels with few responsibilities.
You will find many different communities in Active Worlds, where you can opt to be an observer or an active member. This trial guest membership to the system has some limitations but gives you a full experience. The speed of movement through the virtual worlds is generally reasonably fast and you can set preferences for quality of graphics etc. — there is an enforced policy against abusive behaviour, though you can set options for ratings along the lines of movies which can protect you or involve you in a more permissive society.

Webcam32 v4.8 (Win95 / NT)
This unregistered shareware version will execute for one hour, after which you must restart the application. |
|
Now you, too, can show the world your coffee machine gurgling, or your fish swimming, or your garden growing, or... what fun you could have!
But Webcam32 is a serious piece of software that gives you great opportunities for 'live' Web content. Webcam32 captures images (upon request) from your video capture device, converts them into a JPEG encoded form and sends them to the requester of the image over TCP/IP (the Internet or Intranet).
If used as a Web Server, Webcam32 need only be started and then HTTP requests submitted to Webcam32 will result in a
formatted HTTP response containing the image being sent back to the browser.
