Majic Model Viewer - TSRV

This application allows a user to view a specific model, the Titan Sample Return Vehicle, developed for a deep space mission to Titan, including the detailed assembly / part hierarchy. The user may inspect the model view using mouse selection and various transparency options. The user may play animations associated with the model, which in this case include deploying the landing gear and a communications dish.

The template also includes a collaboration capability allowing multiple users to simultaneously view the same content while one user drives the view. This specific application is a base configuration of the Majic Model Viewer Template. Majic Studio can be used to add custom capabilities to the template or specific models within the application, which is a common project implementation practice.
