Description
Summary:The article presents software module designed for efficient and convenient visualization of 3D models inside the web browser environment. It is written purely in JavaScript and takes advantages of the new HTML 5 standard. The authors focus on mobile devices, so special attention is given on efficiency and low network usage. Proposed solution based on progressive mesh streaming is compared with server side rendering approach. The results of usability tests performed on real-life random users group will be discussed.
