Can someone please explain what does the following line of code exactly do? If I were to build my own Unity3D that exports a similar kind of applications for the browser, what should I do? E.g. should I register somewhere the type of these applications?
<embed type="application/vnd.unity" src="webplayer.unity3d">
This line belongs to this website http://unity3d.com/gallery/live-demos/index.html#bootcamp and is usually encountered for browser applications that have to use native computer resources. These apps are not Flash nor Javascript.
If I wanted to do that for my own software what process should I follow?
If someone could shed some light on that, it would be much appreciated!
This is a MIME type indeed and for someone to use it for his or her own program a new MIME type should be registered which seems from the outside a long bureaucratic procedure. The way to do that can be found here: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2048.txt
