3D graphics programming employing 3D models provide an information-rich, interactive environment. Their use in CGI supported films, such as Avatar, demonstrate their ability to create a compelling audience experience. 3D models and 3D graphics programming have been available for many years. Graphics programming depends on knowledge of programming languages such as C++ and graphics libraries such as...
Historians work with complex spatio-temporal data to create narrative accounts of historical developments. Historical sources are complex and diverse. They are often incomplete and contradictory and are drawn from many disciplines. The historian has the task of analyzing all the available evidence before synthesizing and re-presenting the data to create and interpret narratives which might account...
Advances in Internet connections speeds and computer hardware means that web content has grown richer and more interactive for users. One such area is Web3D which has seen the emergence of ISO standard technologies such as VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) and its XML-based (eXtensible Markup Language) successor X3D(eXtensible 3D). X3D, in particular, presents opportunities for further integration...
As an application of XML (extensible markup language), X3D (extensible 3 Dimensions), offers opportunities for the embodiment, extraction, processing and display of data from 3D models of architectural proposals presented over the WWW. Client side manipulation of XML data using AJAX (asynchronous Javascript and XML), can be employed to provide contextual information about the project. In the context...
X3D (eXtensible 3 Dimensions), the international standard for Web 3D, offers opportunities for the dynamic display and interoperability of data over the World Wide Web. One potential application relates to the process of urban planning in which applications are required to be made readily available for public comment. Relevant information is typically presented in the form of site plans and a limited...
The creation of 3D models is generally considered by newcomers to be a difficult activity requiring a number of skills and considerable practice. This paper describes work in the INHERIT project which aims to address these issues by providing a 3D modelling tool set which is easy to use, requiring few skills and little practice. This is achieved by the development of software tools which are customised...
