Ajay,
JAVA3D, (as with other fast 3D graphics API's/libraries), can be used widely
within the engineering industry for applications that deal with:
* Visualisation of all engineering problems - static and dynamic
* CAD/CAM
* FEA (displacement, contouring etc)
* Flow problems (this extends to 'imaginary' streamlines)
* Geographical visualisation systems
*
(In short JAVA3D could be used to replace the languages presently used for
engineering applications).
Perhaps a more prudent question would be 'why use JAVA3D over other
languages?'
I would say:
* development time is shortened
* hiding the underlying library (OpenGL & D3D) will allow SUN to develop
future JAVA3D versions based on newer/faster technologies (such as
Fahrenheit) without compromising existing applications.
* Theoretically (:)) you will reach a wider number of users with a single
build (machine independence).
Regards,
Andy
