VRML to WebGL Web-based converter application

Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

In this paper we propose a method to convert a VRML file into a WebGL rendered scene through an online application that is capable of rendering this uploaded VRML file within the Web browser itself without any plug-ins being installed. The conversion process between the input VRML file and the WebGL using our Web-based converter application is done by analyzing the uploaded VRML file content represented in nodes. These nodes are then converted into scene graph nodes used for the scene creation. A scene tree is then initialized and populated using these nodes containing their info and sent to the proposed dynamic WebGL template. Finally a new HTML5 file is constructed and displayed on the user's Web browser. An extensive set of experiments are conducted to show the performance of the online converter application.
