Abstract
Interactive 3D based visualization technique can provide additional capacity for e-learning systems. In this paper, we introduce a MPEG-4 standard based interactive 3D visualization system with potential applications in web-based learning. The major features of this prototype system include standard- based efficient compression, view-dependent streaming and rendering, flexible animation and synchronized HTML display. Real examples are presented with the introduction of system architecture and main functionalities.
