A system for transmission and previsualization of digital data for production of holographic stereograms has been developed. The aim of this system is to help the communication between producers of holographic stereograms and their clients. The client accesses the system through a Java applet, a small program, which is automatically downloaded and run on the clients local computer. The client loads a file in VRML format into the applet and the 3D model is displayed using the VRML browser plug-in usually delivered with WWW browsers. The Java applet overrides the controls of the VRML browser and provides only the manipulations possible and necessary for preparing the hologram production and visualizing the result. The applet permits the client to somewhat modify the scene e.g. by adding lights and manipulating them. After finishing the settings and visualizations of the hologram, the client may save the file with the new settings on her own computer in order to resume work later on. When satisfied she may upload the file with all settings to the hologram producer. The computer of the hologram producer is running a small, specially designed http server which will receive the file from the client for further handling.
