Model-based view-extrapolation for interactive VR Web-systems

High-speed networks which guarantee a minimum quality-of-service (QoS) enable the development of interactive Web-systems. This paper introduces a new paradigm for interaction with complex virtual worlds an the web, which utilizes both the sewer and the client simultaneously. The client generates the new views by extrapolating a reference view based on the focally available data, including the model. The sewer transmits only the data necessary to prevent an accumulation of errors. The model-based view extrapolation method avoids the use of textures which are view-independent primitives and therefore too expensive to be used in interactive applications over the network.
