Installation on the Client Computer

In most configurations, you do not need to install a viewer on a client computer because you can perform all the tasks on a host computer. However, if you have very large models that take considerable computational resources, you might want to use a client computer to run and view the virtual world.

The client computer must have a VRML97 plug-in with External Authoring Interface (EAI) support. This means that your client computer must be a PC platform with the blaxxun Contact plug-in or an SGI platform with Cosmo Player. Of these two options, only blaxxun Contact is supported.

This section contains the following topics:

• Installing a VRML Plug-In (Windows) -- Install the blaxxun Contact VRML plug-in on a computer running Microsoft Windows.
• VRML Plug-In (UNIX/Linux) -- Install Cosmo Player on your SGI machine.
