ABSTRACT:

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for image data transmision and display, including image display and transmission of image data over the Internet.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In many applications currently utilized within the art, it is common for graphical or visual data to be transmitted to a user over telecommunications lines such as phone lines. Such image transmissions include transmissions of video images, images of a scene, of a three dimensional object, and so forth. Particularly in low bandwidth environments, image transmission and display can be extremely slow. Accordingly, it is a goal of the present invention to address certain of the drawbacks of the transmission systems used in the present state of the art, while particularly taking into account current bandwidth limitations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with the present invention, an apparatus and method is provided for image display and transmission, including display and transmission of image data over the Internet. Image transmission is effected by nonsequential streaming of sequential images, or or of multiple views of a scene or object. In accordance therewith, rotation of objects or scenes and viewing of multiple perspectives can be accomplished more rapidly, since views can be preliminarily displayed before completion of data streaming (which itself is limited in speed due to the low bandwidth environment). Accordingly, the present invention is particularly useful for transmission of image data over the Internet.
