    • RTSG: Ray Tracing for X3D via a Flexible Rendering Framework 

      Rubinstein, Dmitri; Georgiev, Iliyan; Schug, Benjamin; Slusallek, Philipp (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      VRML and X3D are the most widely adopted standards for interactive 3D content interchange. However, they are both designed around the common restricted functionality available in hardware graphics processors. Thus, most ...

    • GPU-based Real-time On-surface Droplet Flow in X3D 

      Jung, Yvonne; Behr, Johannes (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      This paper presents a method for the GPU-based real-time simulation of droplet flows on 3D surfaces. It is also outlined, how this approach can be embedded into X3D. Therefore, a concept and its implementation is presented, ...

    • Proposed Enhancements to the X3D Geospatial Component 

      McCann, Michael; Puk, Richard; Hudson, Alan; Melton, Rex; Brutzman, Don (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      The Geospatial Component of the X3D Standard suffers from some deficiencies that prevent its wider adoption. This paper addresses two of these deficiencies. The first problem is that in order to reduce spatial jitter content ...

    • 3D Modeling in a Web Browser to Formulate Content-Based 3D Queries 

      Berndt, René; Havemann, Sven; Fellner, Dieter W. (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      We present a framework for formulating domain-dependent 3D search queries suitable for content-based 3D search over the web. Users are typically not willing to spend much time to create a 3D query object. They expect to ...

    • WebScylla: A 3D Web Application to Visualise the Colonisation of an Artificial Reef 

      Francis, Benjamin T.; Stone, Robert J. (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      Scylla is Europe's first artificial reef and was created by the scuttling of a former Royal Navy frigate off the UK coast in Cornwall. As well as being a popular attraction for divers, the colonisation of the reef is of ...

    • Interactive stories on the net: a model and an architecture for X3D worlds 

      Carnielli, Efrem; Pittarello, Fabio (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      This work discusses a model and an architecture for interactive stories to be displayed on the net, designed for being independent from the specific story represented and suitable to different literary genres. They are the ...

    • Preface and Table of Contents 

      Dieter W. Fellner and Alexei Sourin and Johannes Behr and Krzysztof Walczak (ACM, 2009)

    • Detecting Inconsistencies in the Design of Virtual Environments over the Web using Domain Specific Rules 

      Mansouri, Haithem; Kleinermann, Frederic; Troyer, Olga De (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      the web for various purposes such as education, collaborative working or social networking. Unfortunately, the development process of such environments remains a demanding task, often accessible only to VE experts despite ...

    • 2LIP: Filling The Gap Between The Current And The Three-Dimensional Web 

      Jankowski, Jacek; Decker, Stefan (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      Paradigm (2LIP), for designing simple yet interactive 3D web applications, an attempt to marry advantages of 3D experience with the advantages of the narrative structure of hypertext. The hypertext information, together ...

    • Function-based haptic collaboration in X3D 

      Wei, Lei; Sourin, Alexei; Stocker, Herbert (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      We seek to further expand X3D by augmenting it with functionbased definitions of geometry, appearance and tangible physical properties. Besides using alone, the introduced nodes can augment and enrich the standard X3D ...

    • An asymmetric 2D Pointer / 3D Ray for 3D Interaction within Collaborative Virtual Environments 

      Duval, Thierry; Fleury, Cedric (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      In this paper we present a new metaphor for interaction within Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVE). This metaphor is dedicated to non-immersive or semi-immersive 3D interactions, for which users cannot afford to buy ...
