IT Requirements for Orbit WebClient

This page describes the requirements of an Orbit WebClient used in a Web Browser or by any Plugin based on the Orbit WebClient SDK.

The Orbit WebClient requires connection with an Orbit Publishers to load a Publication. A Publication is a well defined combination of Geo, Mobile Mapping and Oblique resources prepared by an administrator and shared via an Orbit Publisher :

• Orbit MM Publisher
• Orbit Oblique Publisher

Adobe Flash Player (Version 11.1 released October 2011 or higher) is required as Web Browser extension or installed for desktop use.
Flash is not required for the iOS PanoViewer app.

The Orbit WebClient will use the 3D graphics card if available.
If no 3D graphics card is available, 3D rendering will be processed via a virtual 3D graphics card using CPU.
3D graphics cards are embedded in most contemporary computers, but unfortunately virtual environments (like Citrix, Virtualbox, VMWare, etc.) are still struggling to incorporate 3D hardware and may thus cause the Web Client to be slower.
Orbit developed a dedicated software render technique to optimize the use of the publishing Clients on virtual environments.

Orbit Plugins require online connectivity to the Orbit License Service to be activated, see Orbit Online License Activation.
