Generating VRML on the client rather than the host increases the load of client computer but has several advantages:
Less data need to be sent over the network,
Only the data that is really needed is sent,
The world is smooth - is not cut into parts,
The movement is smooth - data is loaded and processed constantly,
The rendering resolution can vary depending on different factors such as:
  • - the speed of the user computer,
  • - speed of movement,
  • - user request.
The number of resolution levels is not limited.
