You need the Adobe Flash® player to view this content. Get it HERE!

Welcome to <proggies2go>™, the home of the p2gStereoStage™ Universal Stereo-3D Display System™ for the World Wide Web.

The p2gStereoStage™ system consists of optimized Flash applets and server scripts for Perl and PHP, allowing you to present platform-independent 3D multimedia content on any web site. p2gStereoStage™ applets support many media types and a variety of stereoscopic source arrangements. Their displays can render stereo 3D output for just about any stereoscopic 3D device or viewing method in use today.

About the player on the right:

On start-up the p2gStereoStage™ display is set for red-cyan “funny” glasses. To select a different display method, mouse over the 3D button at the bottom right of the player. To start the show, click anywhere on the video. To access the player controls, move the mouse over the top or bottom edge of the player. To hide the controls, mouse over the center of the applet. Whenever the mouse cursor turns into a magnifying glass, you can click and drag the mouse to zoom into the image. This video presentation requires a fast broadband connection and a reasonably modern computer. <TOP>

p2gStereoStage™ System Components

Depending on your application, you may want to deploy one or several of the following p2gStereoStage™ Flash player applets. Each applet is highly configurable via its XML settings file and a number of FlashVars in its HTML wrapper page.

At the time of this writing the p2gStereoStage™ system is the only Flash application in the world to load MPO photos, i.e. the kind created by the Fuji FinePix Real 3D W1/W3 series of cameras and the StereoPhoto Maker software. You can reference the URLs of your MPO images just like any other URL. <TOP>

p2gStereoStage™ 3D Multimedia Player

p2gStereoStage™ is the world's first (and to date only) 3D multimedia player, to play stereoscopic 3D presentations made up from video clips (SD and Full HD video), photo slides, and MP3 audio. 3D stereo visuals can be arranged side-by-side or over-under, and may be anamorphic (i.e. 50% squeezed) to conserve network bandwidth. p2gStereoStage™ plays any media file type supported by the Flash player. In addition, it can also open MPO image files directly.

Up to 32 “smart” MP3 soundtracks can be added to create polished high-impact shows that will thrill audiences. Utilizing animated 3D photos in conjunction with gripping sound can save you time and costs over traditional video production. The soundtrack features also let you leverage your investment in radio advertising by illustrating existing radio spots with clickable 3D images for on-line use.

The program can also be used for shows with regular 2D media to take advantage of its soundtrack features and provide consistency accross your web site. Be sure to check the p2gStereoStage™ Gallery for lots of presentation examples. Any media in a show (regardless of media type) can be made clickable, to easily incorporate actionable advertising messages in your shows. Once your stereoscopic 3D photos have made it into a p2gStereoStage™ playlist, you can present them as a 3D gallery or album, or show them as a sonified 3D slide show. <TOP>

p2gStereoVideo™ 3D Video Player

p2gStereoVideo™ is an easily embeddable 3D video player with a simplified user interface slightly reminiscent of YouTube, but with a number of important improvements. It can play any video file type that is supported by the Flash player, i.e. SD and Full HD video clips. Stereo views can be arranged side-by-side or over-under, and may be anamorphic (50% squeezed) to conserve network bandwidth.

The p2gStereoVideo™ applet supports HTTP pseudo-streaming for a no-wait video viewing experience from any standard HTTP server, e.g. this <proggies2go>™ Apache – no media server required.

To provide consistency across your web site, p2gStereoVideo™ also plays regular 2D video, saving your audience the hassle of getting used to some other player's user interface for your 2D content. Like the other p2gStereoStage™ applets, p2gStereoVideo™ can be color-themed to tie in perfectly with your web site design and commercial message. It is easily set up to play clickable pre-roll and post-roll commercials, making it a superb marketing tool. <MORE> <TOP>

p2gStereoPhoto™ 3D Photo Viewer

p2gStereoPhoto™ is a Flash applet for the embedding of “smart” 3D images in web pages. As opposed to regular images, p2gStereoPhoto™ allows the user to select a 3D viewing method, zoom the image, and view it full-screen. Designers can load images at runtime to create more elaborate photo presentations. Images can be made clickable, to easily create 3D advertisements and banners on your pages, or trigger elaborate JavaScript interactions. <MORE> <TOP>

Effective Marketing: Advertising with p2gStereoStage™

The p2gStereoStage™ system is fully geared towards use in commercial applications. If you have read this far, this must have become clear to you. In previous versions of this web site, I used to go on and on, about all the great benefits the p2gStereoStage™ system could contribute to your marketing and advertising efforts. As a marketing professional, you're perfectly capable of recognizing the advantages of p2gStereoStage™ on your own, so why waste your time and mine? Of course, if you need help deploying your 3D on-line campaign on a consulting basis. <TOP>

If you like, the p2gStereoStage™ players can be customized for direct embedding in Facebook pages. With this unique feature, you can position your 3D message exactly in those places your customers frequent. A variety of other social media options can also be realised. As I'm not in the habit of stealing the spotlight from my customers, I don't use the more advanced features of the system myself. to discuss the details of advanced custom projects. <TOP>

p2gStereoStage™ Licensing and Pricing

License fees and conditions depend on several factors; to cover every possible scenario on this page would simply be beyond its scope. Yes, p2gStereoStage™ can be fully branded without problems. Yes, the player(s) can be highly customized beyond recognition, which is by far the most common way in which the system does its duty around the web. (Have a look at this example.) Chances are, whenever you encounter multi-stereoscopic 3D on the web that actually works, you might be looking at a p2gStereoStage™ product. I have been doing universal web 3D longer than anybody else in the business. <TOP>
