Free reality software for mac

Mac HelpMate 3.0 is designed to help your Mac run more smoothly. It can replace (with a subscription) a whole bunch of expensive products, including Timbuktu, eCare, and many others... Mac HelpMate contains powerful diagnostic features, such as the ability to run SMART (S.M.A.R.T) tests, check temperature and hardware sensors, inspected installed packages, repair permissions, clean caches, remove trash files, ASR multicast server, support for Growl notifications and much much more.

Mac HelpMate remains a free and useful program, but can be enhanced with a Mac HelpMate Professional account subscription that enables zero-configuration screen sharing. Its sister products, also currently included with a subscription are: Mac HelpMate ZIRO, Win HelpMate to control Windows Computers, and Auto HelpMate which allows a subscriber to initiate a screen sharing session from a web page. Many consultants have asked over the last year months about personalized copies of Mac HelpMate and Win HelpMate for their customers as well as the ability to initiate screen sharing with no one logged into the computer, and I am happy to say it's now a reality - desktop control/screen sharing through firewalls with no extra router configuration. Help anyone, anywhere, even behind inside corporate networks. The client, user or customer just downloads a subscriber's personalized copy, shares their screen, and in less than 45 seconds, they can control the remote computer.

In recent tests, Mac HelpMate easily handled remote control of a system with two 30-inch Cinema Displays over a DSL connection. To share or control a Mac there's nothing to install on the client machine outside of Mac HelpMate itself (you can even run it off of the Disk Image) and no admin password is required to initiate sharing or control. An account subscription is needed for the remote control/application and branding to work as well as the email alerts over an alternate SMTP port so that people who have ISPs that block port 25 can still alert you.

QMedia 1.5.2 is considered as an effective plug-in that allows 4D applications to include, play back, edit and integrate tightly with all digital media types supported by QuickTime, Apple's award-winning, industry standard, multimedia technology. QMedia broadens the spectrum of applications that 4D developers can address by transforming 4th Dimension into a multimedia container and content development environment. Applications written with QMedia can be deployed accross platforms, as well as in heterogeneous client-server configurations.

Major Features:

1. Embed multimedia in your forms: Play back in 4D forms or external windows all QuickTime-supported media (still images, standard movies, VR movies, animated GIFs, sounds, music, MIDI, MPEG on Mac, etc). Control the visibility of the movie area and of the movie controller (in whole or in parts). Detatch the movie from its controller, and place each independently inside the plug-in area. Configure the area for movie editing, looping, keystroke handling and drag and drop to the Macintosh desktop. With QMedia 1.5 you can also get audio metering information and display custom sound level indicators.
2. Handle user and QuickTime events: QMedia gives programmatic access to many user events and QuickTime events through callback methods. Trap specific event types, examine event-specific properties, take some action, and finally decide and tell QuickTime if it should handle the event or not. Some of the things you can do with event handlers are:
   • Trap mouse clicks. The user will not be able to start or stop the movie with the mouse.
   • Track the custom button of the movie controller. When the mouse moves over a hot spot in a VR movie, search the database for information related to the hot spot.
   • Track user navigation history in a multinode VR movie and use it to populate a popup menu. The user can go back to already visited nodes by selecting from the history popup menu.
3. Access movie properties down to track level: Get and set numerous movie properties like volume, rate, duration, time scale, movie preview, poster frame, annotations etc. Access and modify movie tracks and track properties (create, delete, enable/disable, track volume, duration, graphics mode, transformation matrix, etc.)
4. Control VR movies: Fully integrate virtual reality (VR) movies in your database. Change pan, tilt and field of view angles, and other properties. Get node and hotspot information. Use event handling to create database-driven VR tours of museums, buildings, collections etc.
5. Publish database data with QuickTime: Add media to movies: add pictures and image files to video tracks, text to text tracks to generate movies out of database data. For example, create a slide show of your annual report charts, publish your photo album database to a movie, add scrolling banners with styled, anti-aliased, drop-shadow text to your 4D forms. Additional support for text includes searching in text tracks and adding "chapter list" tracks to movies.
6. Media conversion and compression: QMedia includes commands for converting media formats with QuickTime's movie import and export components. Convert media files to movie files and export movies (or tracks thereof) to media files. Re-compress video and sound in movie tracks using the growing list of QuickTime codecs (Cinepak, Animation, Motion JPEG, Sorenson video, etc.)
7. Prepare movies for Internet delivery: Preparation of a movie for publishing on the world wide web is done with three lines of code. QMedia creates single-fork, self-contained, fast-start movies that stream when served to the browser QuickTime plug-in.
8. Capture audio and video using the sequence grabber: The QuickTime sequence grabber does frame grabbing from any media source that can be connected to your Mac or PC computer and has a QuickTime driver. Such media sources include video cameras, digital cameras, sound, music and text sources, etc.
