Abstract

---

Real-time 3D mesh editing is a very computational heavy task in terms of both processing speed and memory consumption, especially if we speak about scanned geometry consisting of tens or even hundreds of millions of polygons. In order to move, delete and add vertices complex optimizing structures become a vital requirement. Not so long ago it has become possible to manipulate such data on desktop computers and this talk seeks to expand these boundaries even further and proposes approaches to editing such data in web browsers which have made significant steps to improve stability and performance in recent years. The proposed methods combine the use of modern frontend API, server-side data preparation and computationally efficient algorithms for mesh processing.
