Abstract

Different languages and tools have been used for the modeling and building Virtual Reality applications which can be applied in different domains. These tools are each time more sophisticated providing means for the author of a 3D environment to build his model intuitively. However, these languages and APIs used for building virtual environments are still limited when it comes to integrate multimedia content inside these applications. This paper presents a generic and extensible solution for the presentation of integrated Interactive Multimedia Documents within Virtual Reality applications.
