Interactive collaborative visualization environment for geometric computing

This paper investigates the visualization of geometric computing in heterog eneous distributed environments. We show how focusing in a well-defined dom ain makes it possible to develop a compact system that is accessible to eve n naive users. We present a conceptual model and a system, GASP-II, that re alizes this model in the geometric domain. The system allows the presentati on and interactive exploration of three-dimensional geometric algorithms ov er the network. (C) 2000 Academic Press.
