Abstract: A benefit is obtained for sending digital information over a network. The digital information is representative of three-dimensional images which include photographic images. The receiving computer renders the images from the received digital information, and a viewer at the receiving computer can interactively choose a viewpoint or perspective to view the images on a display of the receiving computer. The benefit to the sender can be monetary compensation and/or increased recognition of the sender, for example.

Abstract: A method for rendering a three-dimensional terrain, the method including providing at least one previous display pixel having a previous ray from a point of view through the at least one previous display pixel to a previous terrain unit intersecting an axis of the previous ray, the previous ray having a length, and computing a subsequent ray from the point of view through a subsequent display pixel, whereby the subsequent ray has a length equal to the length of the previous ray.
