The realtime application consists of a number of  3D animation
sequences. Each sequence is designed for a specific section of music
in the movement.

The realtime 3D animation sequence could be as simple as the planet
slowly rotating in it's orbit, a "journey" from Earth through the stars to
the planet, or a series of slides showing close up NASA shots of the planets.

The backstage sequencing simply uses a key press to time the beginning
of each one of these sequences to the performance. This allows the animation
to be customized to the timing of the actual orchestra performance. The
conductor does not have to follow any type of click track or timing device.
The conductor directs the orchestra as he wishes, the sequencer
backstage follows the score by pressing a key at the appropriate marked
point in the score, and the transition to the next realtime 3D animation in the
sequence begins - right in time with the live performance.

There are also visual cues to aid the sequencing backstage.

The result? The audience sees a perfectly timed realtime 3D animation
sequenced precisely to the live performance.
