Summary:In VRML, a modeling language for 3D objects on the Internet, the specification to realize life-like movement of a 3D character with a skeletal structure (such as a human) has been standardized as the VRML Humanoid Animation (H-Anim) Specification Ver.1.0 in the H-Anim WG of the VRML Consortium. To extend this specification, we suggest a method named “WonderSpace”, it is possible to send/receive motion data in real time on a network with a narrow band width such as a telephone line. Moreover, by sending motion data with streaming data from server to client, the time required before playback can be greatly reduced.
