A Java-based VRML 2.0-Browser: CASUS Presenter

This paper introduces CASUS presenter, a VRML 2.0 based presentation tool developed at Fraunhofer IGD, Darmstadt. CASUS Presenter supports interactive 3D visualization of simulation data, making use of animation and interactive walk-throughs. Since CASUS Presenter is based on VRML 2.0 and fully implemented in Java, it can be used as a flexible VRML 2.0 browser in various application scenarios on different platforms. In this paper, we will concentrate on the fundamental concepts and certain implementation aspects of CASUS Presenter. Additionally, we will present a number of application examples.
