Service-oriented scene graph manipulation

In this paper we present a software architecture for the integration of a RESTful web service interface in OpenSG applications. The proposed architecture can be integrated into any OpenSG application with minimal changes to the sources. Extending a scene graph application with a web service interface offers many new possibilities. Without much effort it is possible to review and control the scene and its components using a web browser. New ways of (browser based) user interactions can be added on all kinds of web enabled devices. As an example we present the integration of "SweetHome3D" into an existing virtual reality setup
