Abstract :
A high speed computer network will provide us with new broadband multimedia applications. This paper discusses new functions for the next generation VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) over high speed computer networks. The LoD (Level of Detail) of 3D objects is the most important function for rendering scenes dynamically while managing the QoS (Quality of Service). New requirements for the next generation VRML are discussed. We present Differential VRML (DVRML) in order to update scene graphs dynamically, and describe principles of the LoD function based on the DVRML
