Foil 10 Future Work

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 VRML is too limited for this application
2 Sun and SGI are developing Java3D, a set of libraries and APIs which will merge and extend Java and VRML for 3D rendering applications
3 Java3D will allow programming of additional capabilities, and downloading of compressed binary data which can be converted to VRML format on the client side
4 Java3D is based on Inventor, but wonít be available until end of 1996 - in the meantime, we can develop new capabilities using our Web Inventor browser
