Abstract

This article comprises a presentation of a web platform for the diffusion and visualization of 3D compressed data on the web. Indeed, the major goal of this work resides in the proposal of the transfer adaptation of the three-dimensional data to resources (network bandwidth, the type of visualization terminals, display resolution, user’s preferences...). Also, it is an attempt to provide an effective consultation adapted to the user’s request (preferences, levels of the requested detail, etc.). Such a platform can adapt the levels of detail to the change in the bandwidth and the rendering time when loading the mesh at the client level. In addition, the levels of detail are adapted to the distance between the object and the camera. These features are able to minimize the latency time and to make the real time interaction possible. The experiences as well as the comparison with the existing solutions show auspicious results in terms of latency, scalability and the quality of the experience offered to the users.
