The animation forming mechanism in VR-based Virtual Laboratory

Animation is an important presentation method in the Internet-based Virtual Reality Laboratory (iVRLab). Because of the iVRLab´s four basic features - 3D form, interactivity, network based working and virtuality, conventional animation methods cannot meet the requirement. Based on the VRML animating principle and analysis of the iVRLab´s requirement, a brand-new animation forming mechanism is presented. An example of liquid surface lifting animation is illustrated to give more details.
