Q: What is Germanium Web ?

Germanium Web Platform
Publicly available 3D Building API for the Web
For anyone who intends to create a 3D in-building
application for the web
> www.germanium3d.com

Q: What are examples of in-building applications ?

Some examples of In-building Apps

You can consider developing …
An asset tracking solution that tracks people indoor in a 3D building, or
A 3D visitor guide that helps visitors find location of places, facilities in a building, or
A mashup that presents the energy readings at different indoor locations of your green building , or
An application that showcases the impressive interior of your designer room, or
A solution that presents CCTV feeds using a 3D building model, or…
<<will leave the rest to your imagination…>>

Q: Ok, now I want to develop a 3D in-building app. How can I use Germanium Web ?

High-level Anatomy of Your In-building App Your 3D In-Building App (1) GermaniumWeb API (2) Building Composer or (3) KML Importer Approach < html > .. <script type="text / javascript “> var germ = null; function Init() { Germanium.CreateInstance("myGerm", InitSuccessCallback, InitFailureCallback ); } .... << more javascript code >> Application Code 3D Building Model

Tools & API you can use …
Germanium Web API (javascript) – to develop the application code
Building Composer – to compose 3D interior models into a 3D Building Model
KML Importer approach – to compose 2D floorplans into a 3D Floorplan Model
Germanium Web Plugin – a software plugin that your users uses to view your 3D in-building app.
