A Network Architecture for Remote Rendering
TR-186-2-98-02, April 1998 [ paper]
Information
  • Publication Type: Technical Report
  • Keywords: distributed virtual environments, smooth levels of details, remote rendering

Abstract
Internet-based virtual environments (VEs) let users explore multiple virtual worlds with many different geometric models which are downloaded rather than pre-distributed. To avoid long download times, we have developed a method that optimally utilizes network bandwidth by downloading only the exact portion of geometry that is necessary for rendering. The solution is based on progressive geometry data structures (smooth levels of detail) and selective download.
