The example is at <a href="http://realism.com/XSEEN/test/labels.html">http://realism.com/XSEEN/test/labels.html</a>.</p><p>All labels are done in HTML. The lines connecting the label to the 3D object is done in 3D space. The labels retain their screen position as the camera is moved. There are three types of labels illustrated in the example -- fixed, relative, and draggable. </p><p>The fixed label is attached to the "monster" The label line tracks the local origin of the monster model. </p><p>The relative label maintains the initial relative screen position to the projection of the (local) origin of the object. The label moves as the object moves. This is particularly obvious when looking from the side.</p><p>The last label (draggable) is attached to the torus. The user may move the label to any position in the canvas (2D projection of the 3D space). The leader line maintains the connection from the label to the object. </p><p>There is preliminary documentation on the tag at <a href="http://tools.realism.com/specification/xseen/language-definition/user-interactions/label">http://tools.realism.com/specification/xseen/language-definition/user-interactions/label</a></p><p>Caveats: <br>1) The leader lines do not track well when the camera position is changing nor when a draggable label is being moved.<br>2) Things don't work as you would expect (or hope) for the stereo camera.</p><p><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>-- <br><b><span style='font-size:13.5pt;color:#333366'>Leonard Daly</span></b><span style='color:#333366'><br>3D Systems & Cloud Consultant<br>LA ACM SIGGRAPH Chair<br>President, Daly Realism - <i>Creating the Future</i> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
