As a cloud-based product, the Web Security Service leverages Symantec's proven security technology, including the WebPulse™ cloud community. With extensive web application controls and detailed reporting features, IT administrators can use the Web Security Service to create and enforce granular policies that are applied to all covered users, including fixed locations and roaming users. If the WSS is the body, then the policy engine is the brain. While the WSS by default provides malware protection (blocks four categories: Phishing, Proxy Avoidance, Spyware Effects/Privacy Concerns, and Spyware/Malware Sources), the additional policy rules and options you create dictate exactly what content your employees can and cannot access—from global allows/denials to individual users at specific times from specific locations.

  • Faster Webgl Graphics
    MASARYK UNIVERSITY FACULTY}w¡¢£¤¥¦§¨ OF I !"#$%&'()+,-./012345<yA|NFORMATICS Faster WebGL Graphics MASTER’S THESIS David Hrachovy´ Brno, Spring 2012 Declaration Hereby I declare, that this paper is my original authorial work, which I have worked out by my own. All sources, references and literature used or excerpted during elaboration of this work are properly cited and listed in complete reference to the due source. Advisor: Mgr. Marek Vinkler ii Acknowledgement I would like to express my thanks to Mgr. Marek Vinkler, the supervisor of my thesis, for his guidance, suggestions and friendly approach. iii Abstract The goal of the thesis was to find an efficient way of loading 3d models in WebGL. Several WebGL frameworks for loading and rendering of 3d mod- els were compared based on their performance as well as other capabilities. In addition, a new method for rendering digital content is presented. Compared to simultaneous rendering on multiple HTML canvases, this method enables to reduce GPU memory footprint, reduces initialization time and gives better rendering performance in most of the tested web browsers. Based on the performed tests, a discussion forum, which demonstrates the new method for fast rendering of 3d avatars, was implemented and evaluated. iv Keywords WebGL, COLLADA, HTML5, WebGL frameworks, digital asset file format v Contents 1 Introduction ...............................2 2 WebGL ..................................4 2.1 OpenGL ..............................4 2.2 WebGL Fundamentals ......................7 2.3 Web Browsers Support ...................... 10 3 The Overlay Canvas .......................... 13 3.1 Multiple Canvases ........................ 13 3.2 Overlay Canvas Design ..................... 16 3.3 Implementation .......................... 18 3.4 Testing ............................... 22 3.5 Conclusion and Future Improvements ............

  • 39 3D Mesh Compression: Survey, Comparisons and Emerging Trends
    39 3D mesh compression: survey, comparisons and emerging trends ADRIEN MAGLO, Visualink GUILLAUME LAVOUE´ , Universite´ de Lyon, CNRS, LIRIS, INSA-Lyon FLORENT DUPONT, Universite´ de Lyon, CNRS, LIRIS, Universite´ Lyon 1 CELINE´ HUDELOT, MAS Laboratory, Ecole´ Centrale Paris 3D meshes are commonly used to represent virtual surface and volumes. However, their raw data represen- tations take a large amount of space. Hence, 3D mesh compression has been an active research topic since the mid 90’s. In 2005, two very good review articles describing the pioneering works were published. Yet, new technologies have emerged since then. In this article, we summarize the early works and put the focus on these novel approaches. We classify and describe the algorithms, evaluate their performance and provide synthetic comparisons. We also outline the emerging trends for future researches. Categories and Subject Descriptors: E.4 [Data]: Coding And Information Theory General Terms: Algorithms, Performance, Theory, Experimentation. Additional Key Words and Phrases: 3D mesh, compression, single-rate, progressive, random accessible, dy- namic.

INTRODUCTION 3D meshes may be considered to be the most popular discrete virtual surface and volume representation. Its simplicity makes it so popular today that electronic ships, called GPUs (Graphical Processing Units), partially specialized in the rendering of images from 3D meshes, are integrated in nearly all personal computers, tablets and smart phones.
