Ed,
I agree that it was very decent of Philip to admit
to starting the mis-spelling of my name. My general
complaint abou the mis-spelling was sent hours before
I even read Eliezer's message, but due to the vagaries
of email was delivered hours after my reply to Eliezer,
giving the impression that I was fuming about it. Not
so, I just wanted to let folks know it was an error.
Bill, I've looked at some of your work...it's both plentiful and powerful!
Personally, I like your Götterdämmerung text and the VisAD applied stuff.
It seems you're the lead architect on VisAD. Is the system presently used
for any gaming applications, i.e. game (3D) development platforms, e.g.
OpenGL?
Its not used for gaming. Its strength is that it integrates
metadata such as units, coordinate systems, sampling topologies
and geometries, missing data indicators, error estimates into
a data model that express pretty much any numerical data. Also,
it supports interfaces to a variety of scientific file and
server formats, and earth navigation for a variety of earth
satellites. This probably doesn't help games much, but is good
for science. It does use OpenGL via Java3D.
Cheers,
Bill
