Showing another program in a virtual world

[Frank Verberne]

Hi all,

I would like for participants to see a 2D object in a 3D virtual world on which another program is shown. This program is dynamical, and should act like that in the virtual world. I think I have to use a rendernode for that, but I'm not sure how I could use a rendernode to show the content of another program. Essentially, I would like to run 2 program simultaneously (namely Vizard and Authorware) and I want the content of the Authorware program to be visible in the Vizard environment while participants are wearing our HMD. Any tips on how I could achieve something like that would be greatly appreciated! Furthermore, it would be neat if the Authorware program could get focus, so that that program will respond to key-presses, and not Vizard.

Regards,
Frank
