An Architecture Supporting Live Updates and Dynamic Content in VRML Based Virtual Worlds
نویسنده
چکیده
In this work, we present an application architecture that integrates geographic information systems (GIS) data into an application that supports several advanced capabilities. This application is implemented on the previously developed Interactive Land Use VRML Application (ILUVA). The application features the the integration of dynamic content generated by a server and support of live updates. From a user request, GIS layers are selected, translated from ESRI Shapefiles into VRML and then inserted into a world. The server architecture is designed for simple administration and maintenance using JavaTM servlets to field user requests and manage server data repositories. As an example, a world constructed to monitor a SuperFund cleanup site is presented.

Internet based virtual reality offers the opportunity to render content in three dimensions. In addition, the Internet provides a medium to support collaborative activities. In this work, we describe how collaborative capabilities are integrated into the Interactive Land use VRML Application (ILUVA). ILUVA is a VRML based application that supports highly interactive functionality, live updates,...
متن کاملAn Architecture for Constructing Large VRML Worlds
The Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) offers capabilities far beyond the virtual exploration of solid models. The scripting capabilities and the execution mechanism enable the creation of complex applications. Indeed, applications can be implemented as a collection of modules interacting in a decentralized fashion, communicating through the exchange of messages. In this paper, an archite...

In this paper we present a method and an architecture for constructing intelligent simulation systems over the World Wide Web. In order to achieve this, different technologies such as Logic Programming, Object-Oriented Programming and Virtual Reality have been integrated. The proposed approach is illustrated by the presentation of a multi-agent VRML game where agents appear to possess dynamic a...
متن کاملInteraction and Behavior in Web - Based Shared Virtual Environments
VRML has already become the standard for the exchange of static 3D scenes on the Web. However, several approaches were recently made to extend it by behaviors and interactions in order to support interactive 3D applications on the Internet. Most of these approaches including the current VRML 2.0 draft specification apply to single, isolated users, browsing through virtual worlds. But already in...
