From Wikipedia - Reading time: 6 min
Not to be confused with f.lux or Flux (machine-learning framework).

Flux was a software suite released by Media Machines which consisted of Flux Player and Flux Studio.

Flux Player was a VRML/X3D viewer that worked both as plugin in Internet Explorer, and as standalone program in Windows. Flux Studio was a VRML/X3D editor that worked in Windows. Both programs supported Windows Me/2000 and higher.

Flux Player and Flux Studio were freely downloadable for any usage under a proprietary Flux Player and Flux Studio license.[1]

Flux software was developed by Tony Parisi, who coworked with Mark Pesce on the development of the experimental VRML prototype called Labyrinth. Flux Studio could successfully import and export *.WRL, *.X3DV and *.X3D files.

Initial distribution version of Flux Player 2.0 and Flux Studio 2.0 was released on February 21, 2007; while final distribution version of Flux Player 2.1 and Flux Studio 2.1 was released on May 28, 2007.[2]

Acquisitions

[edit]

In May 2008, MediaMachines became Vivaty,[3] and the Flux software was rebranded as Vivaty.[4] However, on April 16, 2010, Vivaty shut down[5][6] and was subsequently acquired by Microsoft.[7]
