Welcome to Web3D 2014! These proceedings document the nineteenth international ACM symposium on 3D Web technologies. Web3D is sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH and held in cooperation with both Eurographics and the Web3D Consortium. The conference is co-located this year with SIGGRAPH 2014 in the beautiful city of Vancouver, Canada and takes place August 8th-10th, 2014. The focus for 2014 is on the emerging opportunities and research into portable, integrated information spaces over the web.
The annual Web3D Conference is a major event which unites researchers, developers, entrepreneurs, experimenters, artists and content creators in a dynamic learning environment. Attendees share and explore methods of using, enhancing and creating new 3D Web and Multimedia technologies such as HTML5/ WebGL, Flash 11/ Stage 3D, X3D, MPEG, and Collada. From its main track of scientific peer-reviewed papers to the workshops and tutorials, this conference highlights the capabilities and trends in interactive 3D graphics across a wide range of applications, showcasing research from mobile devices up to high-end immersive environments.

HuMoRS: huge models mobile rendering system
We present HuMoRS, a networked 3D graphics system for interactively streaming and exploring massive 3D mesh models on mobile devices. The system integrates a networked architecture for adaptive on-device rendering of multiresolution surfaces with a ...
MIPos: towards mobile image positioning in mixed reality web applications based on mobile sensors
In this paper we propose a position aware, user controlled and real time enabled visual approach to arrange real world images within virtual scenes by leveraging modern web APIs to get access to location, mobile sensors and camera. Enhancing a virtual ...
Remote visual tracking for the (mobile) web
Augmented Reality is maturing, but in a world where we are used to straightforward services on the internet, Augmented Reality applications require a lot of preparation before they can be used. Our approach shows how we can bring Augmented Reality into ...
SRC - a streamable format for generalized web-based 3D data transmission
A problem that still remains with today's technologies for 3D asset transmission is the lack of progressive streaming of all relevant mesh and texture data, with a minimal number of HTTP requests. Existing solutions, like glTF or X3DOM's geometry ...
Blast: a binary large structured transmission format for the web
Recent advances in Web technology, especially real-time 3D content using WebGL, require an efficient way to transfer binary data. Images, audio and video have respective HTML tags and accompanying data formats that transparently handle binary ...
Spatial data structures for accelerated 3D visibility computation to enable large model visualization on the web
The visualization of massive 3D models is an intensively examined field of research. Due to their rapidly growing complexity of such models, visualisation them in real-time will never be possible through a higher speed of rasterization alone. Instead, a ...
DEC-O: an ontology framework and interactive 3D interface for interior decoration applications in the web
We present an integrated framework for interior decoration, merging Web3D technologies with SVG graphics and Semantic Web ontologies. The system is based on an OWL ontological framework describing the entire spectrum of interior design concepts that ...
Configurable instances of 3D models for declarative 3D in the web
The Declarative 3D for the Web initiative by the W3C [W3C 2011] connects 3D content to the Web document, intertwining it with other Web technologies known to millions of Web developers. The goal is to make 3D on the Web more accessible compared to low-...
A scalable rendering framework for generative 3D content
Delivering high quality 3D content through a web browser is still a challenge especially when intellectual property (IP) protection is necessary. Thus, the transfer of 3D modeling information to a client should be avoided. In our work we present a ...
An event-based framework for animations in X3D
Animations are frequently used and beneficial for different scenarios in information visualization [Robertson et al. 2008; Kriglstein et al. 2012]. The X3D format [ISO and IEC 2008] provides a sound basis to create information visualizations and ...
Enhancing X3DOM declarative 3D with rigid body physics support
Given that physics can be fundamental for realistic and interactive Web3D applications, a number of JavaScript versions of physics engines have been introduced during the past years. This paper presents the implementation of the rigid body physics ...
Visualizing real-time radio spectrum access with CORNET3D
Modern web technology enables the 3D portrayal of real-time data. WebSocket connections provide data over the web without the time-consuming overhead of HTTP requests. The server-side "push" paradigm is particularly useful for creating novel tools such ...
Leveraging public participation in urban planning with 3D web technology
In this paper we present a web-based platform that makes use of HTML5 technology and WebGL to facilitate public participation in urban planning. It consists of components that enable city administrations to present urban plans to the public and to ...

This paper presents an innovative model-driven architecture enabling 3D web-based design processes in the field of large complex building (LBC) projects, such as power plant construction. This work was motivated by proposing new ways of achieving 3D CAD ...
Visualization of molecular structures using state-of-the-art techniques in WebGL
The potential of web browsers as a platform for remote visualization has long been recognized. One of the motivations behind remote visualization has mainly been large data that cannot be easily transferred to the client. Further impeding factors for ...
Accelerating entomology with Web3D insects
Capturing high-quality 3D models of insects is challenging - they are usually too small for laser or depth camera based systems, and techniques such as CT scanning do not record color. We have developed a prototype system that generates unprecedentedly ...
Instant texture transmission using bandwidth-optimized progressive interlacing images
We present an adaptive bandwidth-optimized approach for progressive image transmission to allow instant textured rendering in web-based 3D applications. Applications utilizing a lot of image data require an adaptive technology to build responsive user ...
Integration of X3D geospatial in a data driven web application
The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute designed the Spatial Temporal Oceanographic Query System (STOQS) [MBARI 2014] to create new capabilities for scientists to gain insight from their data. STOQS employs open standards and is a 100% free and ...
Towards more expressive rendering in X3D
The X3DOM framework [Behr et al. 2010] is well suited to present declarative 3D online in a Browser. While JavaScript libraries like jQuery UI enable intuitive interfaces and ease the manipulation of 3D contents, there is still room for better ...
Using linked data for interactive 3D web content integration
