Abstract
Little work has so far been done to add environmental aspects into VRML architectural models. These observations led us to develop a software package named VREnhancer to address this problem. With our project, we aimed to design an effective approach for adding environmental aspects to VRML architectural models. This approach tries to give VRML worlds greater realism and better visual quality while maintaining an acceptable navigation speed. VREnhancer has provided VRML world creators more flexibility and feasibility to adorn and change their designs. This article looks at the development of the project, its design and implementation, and the related technology, It also evaluates VREnhancer through adorning the virtual campus of Hull University, UK, with environmental aspects.
