Abstract
A method for synchronous representation of a virtual reality terrain in the form of polygons on a plurality of display devices by a plurality of connected simulation computers, may include generating position data specifying which region of the terrain was changed by a first computer; generating elevation data of the changed region by the computer; communicating position and elevation data the first computer to a second computer; selecting, on the basis of the position data, those polygons of the terrain which lie in the changed region by a control unit of the second computer; subdividing the selected polygons in each case into a plurality of sub-polygons by a tessellator unit of the second computer; calculating spatial coordinates of the sub-polygons in accordance with the elevation data by the second computer; and displaying the sub-polygons on a display device connected to the second computer.
