As soon as first server side scripting tools were introduced and programmers acquired opportunity to make dynamic Web sites in response of users actions, people started thinking about interactive imaging on-line. If HTML content and images are created logically the Web server may be turned into some sort of complete interactive logical Web machine where sites are not sitting as static files but created on-the-fly. If we consider what is necessary for such type of interaction that would be Web server, supporting basic HTTP, the tool that creates pixel data logically and image formatter. All components were available when I started working on the problem. For example, Apache Web server, OpenGL and ImageMagick. I, however, chose different image formatting software and wrote Web server myself. The whole application appeared to be short and simple. |
