Abstract
We present a strategy for rendering in distributed virtual
environments. A geometry database is maintained by a server,
while user invoke individual clients to interact with the
environment. Instead of downloading a complete copy of the
geometry data, the data is distributed on demand, thus
gaining significant savings in network bandwidth. Our strategy
combines several techniques, including levels of detail,
progressive refinement and graceful degradation to deliver
the data 'just in time' over the network to the rendering
process. The method allows operate on a tight resource budget,
which important if attempting to use low cost systems for
virtual reality applications.
