Nowadays, with the rise and generalized use of web
applications and graphical hardware evolution, one of the most
interesting problems deals with realistic real-time visualization of virtual environments on web browsers. This paper shows an on-line application to dynamically visualize a large campus on the World Wide Web. The application focuses on a smooth walk through a large 3D environment in real-time as an alternative
way to index geographically related information. This way, contents are continuously filtered based on viewpoint¿s position. This can be made thanks to the availability of different models corresponding to different levels of detail (LOD) for each modeled building. A server storage model has been purposed
including all models, compound of meshes, textures and
information. The technique is based on an algorithm that
performs a progressive refining of the models, according to the
distance from the viewpoint.Vendrell Vidal, E.; Sanchez Belenguer, C. (2011). Interactive 3D Visualization of a Large University Campus over the Web. International Journal of Computer Information Systems and Industrial Management Applications. 3:514-521. http://hdl.handle.net/10251/35020S514521
