Foil 7 3D Terrain Viewer Using VRML

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 *
Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) is the standard method used for describing and displaying 3D worlds on the Web
VRML browser provides 3D rendering and ìflight simulatorî user interface, which allows real-time interactive flyover of a 3D terrain model, with overlays of GIS data
VRML data for terrain is very large - main problem is to minimize amount of data to be downloaded and complexity of scene to be rendered, in order to obtain real-time display
