Title
WebTOP: 3D interactive optics on the Web
Abstract
The Optics Project (TOP) is a 3D interactive computer graphics system that visualizes optical phenomena. The primary motivation for creating TOP was to develop a tool to help undergraduate students learn optics. WebTOP is a Web-based version of the system that encompasses a physical simulation, an overview of the theory involved, a showcase of examples, and a set of suggested exercises. The actual simulation is implemented using VRML, Java, and the External Authoring Interface, and runs under multiple hardware/OS/browser configurations. This work is significant in that it represents, to our knowledge, the first complete 3D interactive optics system on the Web.
