InWorld VR Inc is harnessing the power of Java to create a facility for adding sound to Web pages. The Sausalito, California-based company has created an Automatic Audio Java applet library that operates without the need for any additional end user software or complicated installations. Using any existing or newly-created sound file, Automatic Audio adds background music or sound, sound bites, audio associated with graphics. It consists of 16 parameter-driven, fully documented Java applets that developers can integrate into their Web sites without the need for any Java programming. No additional software, downloads, or any installation is required by the end user – any Java-enabled browser does the trick. The Personal Package is $50 and includes a single site license. The Commercial Package is $150 and includes five site licenses, and the Web-Developer package is $500 for a fully-paid license to use on an unlimited number of sites; details at http://www.inworldvr.com.
