Demos and Movies

Here are some demos and movies, which show you LucidShape and LucidDrive in action.

LucidShape and LucidDrive demos are presentations which illustrate the main functionalities of LucidShape and LucidDrive. These demos can be used as introductory tutorials on different topcis. Applications on main topics like reflector or refractor design or data exchange are also available. These presentations are stored in ShockWave Flash format. One can navigate through this presentation (stop, rewind, back, forward) by using the progress bar tool items.

LucidDrive movies are real-time videos of LucidDrive. They are stored as wmv (lower resolution with description) or avi files (higher resolution without description).

Just click and enjoy.
