Star Trek Technology for Java3D
The Star Trek universe has inspired many technology ideas but I'm disappointed I don't have a transporter yet. One Star Trek technology that has been available for sometime is the particle system. No, this is not an exotic propulsion system for your flying car. The particle system was invented to animate the Genesis effect in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. While the Genesis device was used to transform a barren planet into one full of life, we can adopt this technology for more modest effects in Java3D.

The web editor decided to do things a bit different than the past. The first mention of the listings (Listing 1) is a link to all of the code. The link is http://res.sys-con.com/story/jun05/99792/source.html.

It looks like the source for this article is slightly down level. JDJ is working on it.
