Abstract

Developing interactive 3D graphics for mobile Java applications is a reality. Recently, the Mobile 3D Graphics (M3G) API was proposed to provide an efficient 3D graphics environment suitable for the J2ME platform. However, new services and applications using interactive 3D graphics, which have already achieved reasonable standards on the desktop, do not yet exist for resource-constrained handheld devices. In this work, we developed a framework for supporting guided navigation in mobile virtual environments. To illustrate its main functionalities, a virtual rescue training was designed, implemented and tested on mobile phones. Users can load virtual environments from a remote PC server, navigate through them, find an optimal and collision-free path from one place to another, and obtain additional information on the objects.
