Inhaltsangabe

A network connection can provide a window to the world of information, where data and programs can be exchanged with many other users. Styles of virtual and multimedia information are now being developed that will become an integral part of these interactions. This volume covers this area, discussing techniques and applications of using 3-D and multimedia on the Internet. The text reveals exactly what is happening in the interactive world of networked computers. Subjects such as computer graphics, multimedia, virtual reality and the Internet have exploded into massive individual means of study and research, with new products and subjects emerging almost daily. The Internet has transformed the way we work, and as interactivity replaces passive modalities, new software tools are required to support such activities. This work explores this interactive world, discussing such developments as VRML, Java, HotJava, Dreamscape, and other virtual and multimedia information.
