Adobe on Wednesday is introducing its 3D authoring tool, Adobe Atmosphere, for building multimedia-based interactive environments for the Web and PDF files.
With Atmosphere, Web designers and digital document creators in applications such as arts, ecommerce, entertainment, and education can deliver realistic, interactive environments that enable users to navigate and interact with the environment and its contents. Users can collaborate in real-time.
An example of an Atmosphere application would be a ticket-selling system in which the vendor could build realistic replicas of venues for patrons to check out the view of the stage from specific states, Adobe said. Architects and designers, meanwhile, can build prototypes or publish existing designs developed in CAD application to the Web. Publishers can create interactive PDF eBooks.
