System Requirements
Although Ossia functions optimally on one specific machine (Indigo2 in the University of Michigan VR lab), the VRML model can be viewed on anything with a VRML browser. Ossia has not been tested on anything other than CosmoPlayer.
For the fully functional models (both normal and low poly), at least an SGI Indigo2 R10K is preferred, as the interactions and motion slow things down considerably even on such a system.
The models without the interactive sphere speed things up a bit, but a fast multiprocessor Pentium II is still recommended.
Finally, the models with no interactions run much quicker and have worked reasonably well on a PII 300 with no 3D acceleration.
Following are five different options for viewing the Ossia VRML model. Depending on the speed of your machine, one of them should be appropriate. Basically, it's trial and error on your part...if a model doesn't run well, try out one of the less complex options. If the model you choose seems to run very well, try out one of the more complex options. If you make it down to the 3000 poly model with no interactions and it still doesn't run well, you're pretty much out of luck. Go look at some still pictures instead.
