Abstract :
Java programmers can quickly and easily define graphics programs using Java 3D´s scene graph classes. An expanded view model lets applications seamlessly operate in a variety of single- and multiple-display, nonhead-tracked and head-tracked, display environments. This view model relies on the flexible InputDevice interface that Java 3D provides to remove most of the vagaries of hardware trackers
