Automatic Generation of Map-Based Interface for VRML Contents

The paper proposes a Web page that can automatically generate a map-based interface for any VRML contents on the Web. This new approach reduces map development costs and provides a common interface to the users. 3D contents reconstruction is distributed among the client computers to guarantee Web service efficiency.
