Abstract :
This paper investigates the visualization and animation of geometric computing in a distributed electronic classroom. We show how focusing in a well-defined domain makes it possible to develop a compact system that is accessible to even naive users. We present a conceptual model and a system, GASP-II (Geometric Animation System, Princeton, II), that realizes this model in the geometric domain. The system allows the presentation and interactive exploration of 3D geometric algorithms over a network.
