Abstract

In this paper we present Wolverine, a simple scene-graph library that incorporates advanced concepts such as node and object differentiation, seamless serialization for distributed environments, and multimedia elements including dynamic textures and video sources. By examining the specifics of Wolverine, we will compare our approach to other scene-graph APIs and dwell on its use in a videoconferencing shared-reality collaborative application.
