摘要：Current Web3D no longer only contains simple objects or sceneries with low complexity. Even without the addition of certain application features, the content of a Web3D site can be so complex that its development can take a long time. Development time can be reduced by using contents or complete world from other sites, so users can directly display views that integrate various content according to the distributed world principle in Web3D. However, this principle cannot be applied to contents with different document formats, as general browsers can only display one format at a time. The proposed solution is a framework which contribute to the distributed world principle by adding the ability to combine two or more format in a single world. This Framework allows users to combine contents from multiple source sites and formats at once. To overcome the major weakness from the browsers, all document format originating from the source worlds need to be uniform. A series of resource preparation followed by conversion process have been developed so that all content has the same format. Prior to conversion, resources from source worlds were managed locally. The process model of the framework has been implemented and able to demonstrate the capabilities needed to convert two or more worlds with different formats to be displayed in one browser window, thus users can interact with the combined worlds as if they were navigating in a single large world.
