A MetaViewer for Sharing Multiple Media by WebGL-based Interfaces

摘要

In recent years, sharing images and videos on the Web has become common. Recently, the use of 3D models is also growing day by day, and the evolution of programming languages and libraries allow visualizing detailed 3D models and point clouds on the web. This opens new scenarios and possibilities for combining libraries, formats and contents (images, videos or 3D) within rich web layouts which can be visualized by multiple devices (PC, tablet, smartphone, ...). This current technological context represents a great opportunity for people involved the digital documentation of cultural heritage artifact, especially regarding the management of heterogeneous contents within digital libraries. In this paper we present the first results of an on-going development project aiming to develop a Meta Viewer for sharing multiple media (images, videos and 3D) by the means of WebGL-based interfaces.
