Assignee:

Anark Corporation - Boulder CO

International Classification:

G06T 17/00

US Classification:

345419

Abstract:

Methods and associated systems for improving the visual quality of real-time interactive multimedia presentations, by blending 2-D image data derived from a plurality of 3-D scene views associated with one or more 3-D scenes in accordance with presentation data modifiable by user input in real-time. The 2-D image data rendered from the perspective of the individual scene views are blended together using an associated blend mode in a back to front order producing a 2-D composite image for projection on a display device to a user of the real-time interactive multimedia presentation.

US Classification:

705 7

Abstract:

The present invention provides a project optimization software tool in which a single window in a graphical user interface serves as a tool for planning future actions, reviewing past actions, organizing meetings and launching executable software tools. A project pathway window supports: 1) the listing and viewing of sequences of pathway steps, which, if accomplished, lead towards a defined project goal, 2) the ability to link software tools to those pathway steps, and launch the software tools for execution, 3) the creation of meeting agendas, each of which may encompass several pathway steps, without demoting the included pathway steps, and 4) the marking of the status of pathway steps.
