Foil 2 Summary

From Terrain Rendering and GIS using Java and VRML Rome Lab Quarterly Review for CIV -- June 28 96. by Paul Coddington, Alvin Leung, Krysztof Walczak, Byeongsoeb Ki *

1 Goal is to provide interactive 2D and 3D viewing of terrain via the Web, with GIS functionality for accessing and overlaying spatially referenced data
2 Terrain data is currently elevation plus satellite images; GIS information is place names, census data, images, Web pages, simulation results
3 Java (for 2D) and VRML (for 3D) are used to display information and images using the Web
4 Need to minimize data transfer from the server in order to obtain real-time performance
