To avoid long download times, we have developed a method that optimally utilizes network bandwidth by downloading only the exact portion of geometry that is necessary for rendering. The solution is based on progressive geometry data structures (smooth levels of detail) and on selective downloading.","PeriodicalId":302740,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 2nd International Workshop on Distributed Interactive Simulation and Real-Time Applications (Cat.
