      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 ...

    • An asymmetric 2D Pointer / 3D Ray for 3D Interaction within Collaborative Virtual Environments 

      Duval, Thierry; Fleury, Cedric (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 ...

    • Beyond Viewpoint: X3D Camera Nodes for Digital Cinematography 

      Weekley, Jeffrey D.; Brutzman, Don (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      This paper describes four candidate X3D extension nodes: Camera, Shot, Movement and OfflineRendering. An X3D lexicon for camera movements is defined so that individuals directing virtual cameras in X3D can directly apply ...

    • Chemical Education using Feelable Molecules 

      Davies, R. Andrew; Maskery, James S.; John, Nigel W. (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 ...

    • Detecting Inconsistencies in the Design of Virtual Environments over the Web using Domain Specific Rules 

      Mansouri, Haithem; Kleinermann, Frederic; Troyer, Olga De (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      the web for various purposes such as education, collaborative working or social networking. Unfortunately, the development process of such environments remains a demanding task, often accessible only to VE experts despite ...

    • Digital Oil and Gas Pipeline Visualization using X3D 

      Zhen-pei, Li; Ping, Li; Ming, Wu (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      With the development of oil and gas pipeline construction, management technology and information technology, it is highly desirable to create a visual oil and gas pipeline management system to improve pipeline management ...

    • Enterprise-level architecture for interactive web-based 3D visualization of geo-referenced repositories 

      Simoes, Bruno; Conti, Giuseppe; Piffer, Stefano; Amicis, Raffaele de (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      Interoperability, interactivity and 3D visualization are three of the most important challenges related to Geographical Information Systems. In the last few years, research on interoperability has evolved from simple ...

    • Extending X3D for Distributed Multimedia Processing and Control 

      Repplinger, Michael; Löffler, Alexander; Schug, Benjamin; Slusallek, Philipp (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, ...

    • Function-based haptic collaboration in X3D 

      Wei, Lei; Sourin, Alexei; Stocker, Herbert (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 ...

    • GPU-based Real-time On-surface Droplet Flow in X3D 

      Jung, Yvonne; Behr, Johannes (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      This paper presents a method for the GPU-based real-time simulation of droplet flows on 3D surfaces. It is also outlined, how this approach can be embedded into X3D. Therefore, a concept and its implementation is presented, ...
