Visualization for cooperative architecture design system

Abstract

Visualization in an online multiple user, multiple location cooperative working system for complicated 3D structures such as in architecture design is a great challenge. There are special requirements for such cooperative environment. Some of them are related to the need of multiple participants while the others are for the specific needs of the application. The paper presents the visualization scheme and its implementation for the cooperative 3D design system particularly for the application of architecture design for building construction.
