Abstract (en)

[origin: CA2868370A1] A method for synchronous representation of terrain formed from polygons of a virtual reality on a plurality of display devices of a simulation device, which has a plurality of simulation computers (SR1, SR2) connected to one another via a network which computers store spatial coordinates of the polygons for the terrain, and SR1 generating a change of the terrain. The method has the following method steps: - SR1 generates position data (L) that specifies which region of the terrain was changed; - generates elevation data (H) of the changed region of the terrain; - and transfers the position data (L) and the elevation data (H) via the network to SR2; - a control unit of SR2 selects, on the basis of the position data (L), any polygons of the terrain which are in the changed region; - a tesselator unit divides each of the selected polygons into a plurality of sub-polygons; - a calculating unit calculates the spatial coordinates of the sub-polygons according to the elevation data (H); and - the sub-polygons are displayed on SR2.
