The AristotelsViewer project is designed as framework for applications which like to develope, demonstrate or evaluate new features for 3D Modells. It is made primary for scientific use, where the memory need of scenes which should be visualized is not that high so that the memory restrictions of java and an incomplete performance tuning are not that important.
The AristotelesViewer was developed to visualize, edit and update 3D Data given as GML 3.x conform data. It enables the users and developers not only to visualize the scene, but also allows to gain access to give semantics, attributes or metadata provided with the 3D models. To achieve the needed flexability during a customization process and reducing the need of source code to be read, there are several easy-to-use plugin interfaces available, which can be used to test e.g. new control-types, new operators to change the scene, new picking components or export filter. These interfaces are a main advantage and are in the focus of this project.
