"We believe that our combined efforts will produce technology with wide benefits for advertising companies and on-line catalogs. Streamed interactive photorealistic content increases the 'click rate,' or viewership, of products on-line and, therefore, the profitability of on-line advertising, catalogs and shopping malls." Netscape ONE represents a commitment to open Internet-supported protocols and content definitions that transcend any single vendor. Vendors adopting Netscape ONE will be able to offer products that interoperate with LiveConnect compatible products, making it easy for users to take advantage of real-time audio and video capabilities on the Internet and allowing designers more creative, media-rich capabilities. Netscape LiveConnect allows designers to create content-rich on-line virtual reality environments by integrating three key multimedia technologies: OLiVR, Java applets, and JavaScript. An obstacle facing the Web community of designers and content providers trying to make a multimedia Web truly viable for advertisers has been the slowness of large graphic, video and audio media objects or files that they would embed into their web sites. Advertisers have unfortunately found that users are not patient enough to wait for these long downloads. OLiVR not only provides photorealistic 3-D, but also a compression solution that solves the Web's bandwidth bottleneck. Once incorporated into Netscape Navigator, OLiVR allows users to interact with images in 3D movies (see them from all views, zoom in, open, press buttons, try features). User interaction is immediate. With its advanced compression algorithms and network protocols, OLiVR eliminates the need to download over the Web a file before viewing. Users do not wait for an OLiVR movie to appear; it is accessible as soon as the Web page itself is loaded. By being LiveConnect- enabled, OLiVR can now be incorporated within Java applications to provide instant interactivity.
