Set Up for Remote Viewing
To enable a user on a remote computer to use a Web browser to view a virtual world that
is connected to a Simulink model:
1
In the Simulink 3D Animation Viewer, select Simulation > Block parameters >
Allow viewing from the Internet.
If the Simulink 3D Animation Viewer is the default viewer, you can open that viewer
from the Simulink Editor by double-clicking the VR Sink block.
2
Enable the Allow viewing from the Internet parameter.
Alternatively, to enable remote computers to view all opened virtual worlds with a Web
browser, in the MATLAB Home tab, in the Environment section, use the Preferences
> Simulink 3D Animation > Allow viewing from the Internet preference.
Connect the Web Viewer
1
In Simulink 3D Animation, open the virtual world that you want to view.
2
On the computer from which you want to open the Web Viewer, open an HTML5-
enabled browser (supporting WebGL and WebSocket). The browser must have
Javascript enabled.
Note: For a list of HTML5-enabled browsers, see http://www.x3dom.org/?page_id=9.
3
Connect to the local host HTTP port. To open the Web Viewer on:
• The same computer on which Simulink 3D Animation runs, enter the following in
your Web browser: http://localhost:8123/
• A remote computer that does not have Simulink 3D Animation, in the http://
localhost:8123 URL, replace localhost with the HTTP port of the host
computer .
