2LIP: Filling The Gap Between The Current And The Three-Dimensional Web
(The Eurographics Association, 2009)
Paradigm (2LIP), for designing simple yet interactive 3D web applications, an attempt to marry advantages of 3D experience with the advantages of the narrative structure of hypertext. The hypertext information, together ...
Function-based haptic collaboration in X3D
(The Eurographics Association, 2009)
We seek to further expand X3D by augmenting it with functionbased definitions of geometry, appearance and tangible physical properties. Besides using alone, the introduced nodes can augment and enrich the standard X3D ...
An asymmetric 2D Pointer / 3D Ray for 3D Interaction within Collaborative Virtual Environments
(The Eurographics Association, 2009)
In this paper we present a new metaphor for interaction within Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVE). This metaphor is dedicated to non-immersive or semi-immersive 3D interactions, for which users cannot afford to buy ...
Virtual Rome: a FOSS approach to WEB3D
(The Eurographics Association, 2009)
The goal of VirtualRome project (www.virtualrome.it) is to provide a web-based infrastructure for distribution, collection, annotation and sharing over the web of 3D interactive content such as actual and reconstructed ...
X3D Earth Terrain-Tile Production Chain for Georeferenced Simulation
(The Eurographics Association, 2009)
Broad needs for digital models of real environments such as 3D terrain or cyber cities are increasing. Many applications related to modeling and simulation require virtual environments constructed from real-world geospatial ...
Extending X3D for Distributed Multimedia Processing and Control
(The Eurographics Association, 2009)
Web-based applications of interactive 3D computer graphics are showing a tendency to get more interconnected and visually complex. Virtual communities like Second Life demand realism not only in terms of realistic rendering, ...
Chemical Education using Feelable Molecules
(The Eurographics Association, 2009)
Two different approaches for the preparation of novel cost-effective molecular haptic applications (Figure 1) are described. The former utilises Perl scripting within a commercial molecular modelling package to generate ...
Towards a new Camera Model for X3D
(The Eurographics Association, 2009)
Creating and setting the right parameters for the virtual camera is crucial for any content creation process. However, this is not easy since most current camera models, including the X3D Viewpoint, use a 3D position and ...
Integration of Haptics with Web3D using the SAI
(The Eurographics Association, 2009)
Haptics force-feedback technology is fast becoming a consumer product and no longer only found in research laboratories. The emergence of the budget Falcon device (Novint Technologies, Inc., USA) represents a key step in ...
ADML: A framework for representing inhabitants in 3D Virtual Worlds
(The Eurographics Association, 2009)
Last years, a new fashion over Internet and computer networks has been established: the 3D virtual worlds. Reports about Future Internet predict virtual worlds will play a major role in the configuration of the future ...
