Description
Unlike a video or animation, which merely replays a preset sequence of images, the objects in a simulation interact with each other as you watch. Viewers can participate too, as games players and experimentors, changing the view onto the simulation or the speed at which it runs, or actively changing the course of the simulation - by tweaking a control or pulling an object with the mouse.
Materialworlds simulations are set into web pages - providing a flexible format for organizing the text, controls, live graphs and multiple views that are available for constructing a simulation. Web authors can modify the presentation of existing simulations, or select elements of existing simulations in building new web pages.
And of course web pages don't need to be viewed on the web - they can be located on a CDROM or installed on a PC or local network.
