Abstract

CAVALCADE's project goal is to develop a computer system for collaborative virtual prototyping of digital mock-ups. The system will support and enhance concurrent engineering practices, thanks to a distributed architecture enabling teams based in geographically dispersed locations to collaboratively design, test, validate, and document a shared model. CRS4's contribution to the project is mainly in the study and development of appropriate multiresolution modeling and rendering techniques.
