Foil 11 VRML2.0 Browsers - II

From VRML 2 Basic Concepts and Definitions CPS616 -- Information Track of CPS -- Spring Semester 98. by Zeynep Ozdemir, Rob Baker, Meryem Ispirli, Geoffrey C. Fox
The three main components of the browser are:
Parser, Scene Graph, and Audio/Visual Presentation.
  • The Parser component reads the VRML file and creates a Scene Graph.
  • The Scene Graph component consists of a Transform Hierarchy (the nodes) and a ROUTE Graph (the connections between nodes).
  • The Scene Graph also includes an Execution Engine that processes events, reads and edits the ROUTE Graph, and makes changes to the Transform Hierarchy (nodes).
