Abstract
The present invention provides an improved rendering system for walk-through applications. The method and system for a walk-through image rendering system in a data processing system provides a first image based on a geometry-based rendering approach in which a user's view position is changing; and also provides a second image based on an image-based representation of a scene in which the user's view position is not changing.
