The heterogeneity of the appearance and behavior of the crowd is an important component in a realistic simulation. Using Web3D technology to recreate a large-scale crowd of virtual avatars via the internet is an increasingly important area in crowd ...

Architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) has witnessed a boom in the use of web3D technologies over the past few years thanks to the proliferation of WebGL support in modern web browsers, and the ever increasing need for multidisciplinary ...

How to model and visualize a large scale forest scenes in a realistic and lightweight way keeps to be an important problem in Web3D Game and VR applications. This paper presents a novel solution to real time Web3D visualization of huge forest scenes. ...

We present a 3D container model that enables the compositing of 3D file formats. It allows not only to compose 3D scenes made of several 3D files of different types but also to combine their functionalities and to make them interact together in the ...

This paper aims to show to what extent the Web3D is an advantage for Living Lab paradigm. A state-of-the-art of Web3D solutions for e-commerce enabled us to select the most suitable functionalities and properties for designing a gates 3D configurator ...

VR applications on the Web demand lightweight virtual models and scenes. Among the existing tree modeling methods, the rule based modeling method, e.g. L-systems or automatons, should be the lightest. This paper presents an interactive approach for ...

As of today, a lot of different approaches have been dealing with the presentation of art history resources on the Web. While the majority of these focused on traditional 2D methods of display, some did introduce the application of 3D visualization ...

As development of internet and computer graphics, real-time interactive 3D content displaying on the web are becoming possible. However it's still a challenge for developers to make litter efforts to create even a simple 3D scene in web pages. This ...

Collaborative visualization is becoming more and more important, given the distributed and mobile nature of teams. Current visualization systems are often still monolithic and not flexible enough for todays users; they have not kept pace with ...

We present a generic architecture which enables the loading of several 3D formats in most 3D application engines. The purpose of this work is to solve the interoperability issue among 3D formats raised by the multiplicity of formats. We propose a ...

Web3D technologies provide frameworks for internet visualization. These technologies are widely used by governments, civil administrations, towns, cities, universities and business. These technologies all share a set of common goals. Once a purpose has ...

In this paper we present one of the potential paths of the evolution of Wikipedia towards Web 3.0. We introduce Copernicus - The Virtual 3D Encyclopedia, which was built according to 2-Layer Interface Paradigm (2LIP). The background layer of the 2LIP-...

In this paper we present the European project Open Dance and in particular our contribution to the 3D simulation of folk dances and their presentation on the web. Our aim is to provide a learning framework for folk dances. First we describe the ...

In this paper, one innovative VMW (Virtual Manipulatives and Whiteboard) system is proposed. It exploits multi-presentation mode transformation to improve geometry problem posing/solving process based on the pedagogical theory, "Children should ...

As the power of end user web browsers increases, the delivery of sophisticated visualizations of information via the web becomes possible. However no technology exists that offers the kind of interactions that a stand-alone application can deliver. ...

A project group typically produces educational multimedia "textbooks" enriched with animations, simulations and virtual reality. An example of such a work is shown here, stressing the importance of tight cooperation between scientific author(s) and ...
