The
software has been tested on standard PC's with and without OpenGL hardware accelerators.
The performance is significantly different. On a HP Pentium II 400 MHz without
accelerator, the interaction is not real time: there a one second delay in good
quality/resolution and more than two in high quality.
On a HP Pentium II 300
MHz with HP-VISUALIZE fx4 graphics adapter with 18 MB SGRAM the time response
is immediate at all qualities. This means that rotation and any other manipulation
of the 3D model is smooth and fast while moving the mouse, giving a full virtual
reality experience.
