Abstract

The architectural framework of an advanced virtual walkthrough environment is described and placed in perspective with first generation systems built during the last two decades. This frame-work integrates support for scalable, distributed, interactive models with plug-in physical simu-lation to provide a large and rich environment suitable for architectural evaluation and training applications. An outlook is also given to a possible third generation of virtual environment archi-tectures that are capable of integrating different heterogeneous walkthrough models.
