Abstract
Sandia National Laboratories’ Straight-Line project is working to provide the right sensor information to the right user to enhance the safety, security, and international accountability of nuclear material. One of Straight-Line’s efforts is to create a system to securely disseminate this data on the Intemet’s World-Wide-Web. To make the user interface more intuitive, Sandia has generated a three dimensional VRML (virtual reality modeling language) interface for a secure web page. This paper will discuss the implementation of the Straight-Line secure 3-D web page. A discussion of the “pros& cons” of a 3-D web page is also presented. The public VRML demonstration described in this paper can be found on the Internet at the following address. (A Netscape browser, version 3 is strongly recommended) http: //www. ca. sandia. gov/N&M/
