Navigate through virtual worlds using Java 3D
Java 3D is an extension to the Java 2 object library that enables a programmer to create 3D graphical representations of objects and virtual worlds. This article demonstrates three advanced Java 3D programming concepts: creation of a custom object that allows a user to fly through a virtual world with airplane-like controls, how to correctly use and implement Java 3D's level-of-detail (LOD) feature to allow navigation through a large, complex virtual world in real time, and how to decode and display terrain elevation data in DEM (digital elevation model) format available from the United States Geological Survey (USGS). The article concludes with a short discussion of lessons learned about Java 3D resource usage.

Talking Java!
In this article, Tony Loton shows how to implement a simple speech engine with less than 150 lines of Java code, no hardware, and no native calls. Further, he supplies a small zip file containing everything you need to make your Java applications talk -- just for fun or for more serious applications. And if you're new to the Java Sound API, this article will serve as a handy introduction. (1,800 words)

Program multimedia with JMF, Part 2
The Java Media Framework (JMF) enables you to program multimedia functions without having to worry about its underlying complexity. The API's interfaces are simple to use, yet so versatile that you can do anything imaginable with multimedia. In this article, the second of a two-part series, Budi Kurniawan shows you how to create multimedia programs with only a few lines of code. (2,700 words)

Program multimedia with JMF, Part 1
The Java Media Framework (JMF) enables you to process multimedia resources with just a few lines of code. Indeed, the JMF architecture resembles your stereo system, with its own Player, DataSource, CaptureDevice, and so on. In this article, the first of two, Budi Kurniawan shows you how to become a multimedia expert in no time, and have fun with sound and movie files. (3,000 words)

Add MP3 capabilities to Java Sound with SPI
The Service Provider Interface (SPI), a new feature in Java 2 1.3, allows developers to transparently add new functions to the JVM. That allows older Java programs, even Java 1.02 programs, to take advantage of the newly added functions with no changes and no recompiling. For instance, Java Sound uses the SPI at runtime to provide sound mixers, file readers and writers, and format conversion utilities to a Java sound program. Indeed, more functions can be added to Java Sound to take advantage of new file formats. In this article, Dan Becker introduces the SPI by way of a real-world example: MP3 sound files. (3,000 words)

JDK 1.2 breaks the Java sound barrier
The recent versions of JDK (above 1.1) have overcome serious limitations in terms of audio capabilities. JDK 1.2 has extended its audio support from the low quality .au format only to encompass all high-quality audio formats such as .wave. In this article, Samudra Gupta discusses how to implement those audio formats through applets and presents the communication possibilities between JavaScript and Java 2 applets. (1,500 words)

Progress on the JMF and Java Media APIs
JavaWorld last detailed the Java Media Framework in April 1997, and much has changed since then. Bill discusses the final 1.0 API, an all-Java implementation, and the early access version of the 2.0 API from Sun and IBM. He also offers a general update on the current state of all the Java Media APIs. Plus: An exciting update on Arcane's Magician Java-to-OpenGL binding. (4,000 words)

Progress on the media front at Siggraph '98
Java Media's presence at this year's Siggraph '98 computer graphics conference was more subdued than it was at Siggraph '97. Is this a sign of the maturity of Media APIs, or a sign of immaturity in their implementation? (2,100 words)
