Title: Roborealm on a Mac
Post by: Hawaii00000 on June 20, 2008, 12:40:18 AM

Recently I read the site's computer vision tutorial ( http://www.societyofrobots.com/programming_computer_vision_tutorial.shtml ) and go really excited about starting on  computer vision, but when I download the roborealm software it WASN'T MAC COMPATIBLE  :'( can any body help me with and quick and cheap (free???) solution?

I don't know much about Macs . . . but what about a Windows emulator?

Do you think you'd have to get  PC virus protection? The other thing is, it make the computer a bit sloooow.

There is Parallels. It integrates windows in the mac desktop. And no you dont need to download virus protection or anything.

Parallels looks good. I emailed the company and you only need virus protection for the program itself, not the physical computer.

I use parallels for mac, there is also fusion by vmware, and then there is bootcamp. You can load a free version of TinyXP onto it if you don't have a windows FULL VERSION (not upgrade) disc laying around.
