Dojo Furniture? What The Heck Is That?


Hi dojoers,

I am sure you got question what the heck is Dojo Furniture! Is Dojo changing its profession from javascript framework to furniture wholesaler? Well allow me to explain about it! Since my project proposal, I promised to give many things from code library, documentation and couple tests but *hrmmmm* something missing... then I purposed to have real world example in the list... Then there you go! I called it Dojo Furniture!

Fine, Dojo Furniture is your "real world" example... Then what it does? Is it like other furniture website? Of course big no from me... It is completely different where user will not experience flicking through ordinary two dimension image but now it is three dimension models! You can rotate it, you can see furniture from any angle!

Great! Can I see it now? Of course you can see it from Dojo Furniture but couple things you have to remember:
- Do you have decent graphic card? (Minimum you have to have OpenGL version 1.5) Check it from this page
- Do you have windows platform? (You have to have it! I tried in Linux but it is not working! Crap!)
- Do you have Firefox 3.0 or Opera 9.50 Alpha? (If not you have to go follow this instruction below)
+ Firefox
1. Get browser software at this page.
2. Get Canvas3D extension at this page.
3. Make sure to allow extension to load the 3D context.

+ Opera
1. Get browser software at this page.

If you try to follow the step then I am sure it will work, it not then please tell me in dojo.gfx20@gmail.com. Of course this project is still not mature, there are many things I need to do and I want to do it outside GSoC 2008! Well, that is it! Any comment, suggestion and critics always be welcomed... Thanks!
