m-LOMA, mobile LOcation-Aware Messaging Application, is designed to be a mobile portal to location-based information in cities. The user can perform textual searches to location-based content, navigate using 2D maps assisted by a GPS, and leave messages ...

The availability of more powerful mobile devices, sometimes equipped with graphics accelerators, is making it easier to experiment with mobile 3D graphics. In this paper, we exploit the main emerging standard in 3D rendering on mobile devices (OpenGL ES)...

In this paper, we present a new approach for remote visualization of large 3D cities. Our approach is based on expressive rendering (also known as Non-Photorealistic Rendering), and more precisely, on feature lines. By focusing on characteristic ...

This paper presents a new environment-user modeling approach that utilizes and integrates Web-based 2D and 3D technologies (SVG and X3D/VRML) for architectural visualization and demonstrates their applications in environmental behavior simulation. Our ...

Graphical representation of complex data sets is an important method for supporting scientific collaboration. Following this idea, we developed a novel Web3D-based visualization framework that supports synchronous as well as asynchronous cooperation, ...

One of the most serious issues holding back the widespread of 3D contents on Internet has been their inaccessibility due to large data volume. Many compression and progressive transmission techniques, as well as format standards, have been proposed in ...

The continuous evolution of computer capacities, as well as the emergence of the X3D standard has recently boosted the 3D domain. Even if efficient tools that support the designer's work exist, little attention is paid to the reuse of 3D models. ...

Providing personalized content and applications which also address heterogeneous capabilities of multiple device types becomes a significant challenge of today's Web development. By now most of the work in the field of adaptive hypermedia is devoted to ...

While the number of virtual environments available on the net is constantly increasing, most of them are composed by a wide number of low-level geometric objects that lack any semantic description. Such situation prevents advanced uses of the data ...

When modelling dynamic X3D worlds, the addition of complex behaviour often becomes a bottleneck of the modelling process. To ease this limitation, this paper describes how the ideas of aspect oriented programming can be applied, to automatically add ...

Humanoid animation is a complex task which usually requires particular skills and training. To simplify this process we propose a visual tool, called H-Animator, which aims to help animators (especially the novice ones) in modeling X3D animations for H-...

In this work we propose an alternative animation approach to the traditional key frame based interpolation model. By way of illustration we propose a set of nodes that apply these principles to the X3D standard. In contrast to predefined key frame ...

In this paper, a function-based extension of Extensible 3D (X3D) is proposed. The extension allows authors to use analytical functions to define geometry, color, 3D texture as well as operations on 3D shapes or time-dependent metamorphoses. The ...

3D components can facilitate the development of interactive 3D content. However, the specification of 3D components with sophisticated behaviours and complex inner structures can become a tedious an error-prone work, since support for this task ...

X3D standard provides a well defined and well controlled runtime model for user interaction and scripting. Information captured from X3D content, combined with the characteristics of X3D viewers, can be used to formally describe and model user interface ...

One of the biggest concerns in external treatment planning is the collision avoidance of the treatment Linear Accelerator (LINAC®) components such as gantry (G), table (T), collimator (C), and any other auxiliary components such as fixation devices etc, ...

Scientists within Geoscience Australia (GA) create complex 3D models of geological structures, using specialised 3D modelling software. Very few people outside GA have access to this specialised software. To provide clients and stakeholders with access ...
