Abstract

Providing personalized content and applications which also address heterogeneous capabilities of multiple device types becomes a significant challenge of today's Web development. By now most of the work in the field of adaptive hypermedia is devoted to Web content such as hypertext, images, video, and animation, but rarely to three-dimensional graphics. Research on the adaptation of 3D graphics is still in its infancy. The generic approach introduced in this paper combines the AMACONT adaptive hypermedia architecture with the component-based 3D document model CONTIGRA to achieve 3D adaptation methods such as parametric, structural, and implicit rule-based adaptation as well as rich hypermedia adaptation across media boundaries. In addition a layered context modeling framework supports not only personalization, but also adaptation to device and other contexts. It is shown that the approach can be generalized to other XML-based 3D document formats, e.g. X3D.
