Abstract:
Despite the rapid development of hardware including specialized graphical processing units (GPUs) and widening the bandwidth, truly interactive applications allowing for near real-time visualization without loss of a visual quality are still to become a reality. Building up an adaptive 3D Web-based shape modelling environment enables us to design platform independent 3D objects in a collaborative manner, yet delivering compressed meshes, and images to clients with different platforms and devices in an optimized manner is still a difficult job. In this paper, we explore the crucial issues of delivering 3D objects. We focus on data transmission over different transmission bandwidths between servers delivering the service and clients with different platform devices. Our case study relies on a client-server adaptive architecture, supported by different rendering techniques, and is able to deliver compressed meshes and images. We identify the obstacles in delivering compressed data files as well as image streams, and present results based on bandwidth capacity, storage size, extraction and loading times.
