Abstract of Terrain Rendering and GIS using Java and 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 *

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