Abstract
A system and process for rendering a virtual reality environment having an image-based background, which allows a viewer to move about and interact with 3D graphic objects in a virtual interaction space of the environment. This is generally accomplished by first rendering an image-based background, and separately rendering geometry-based foreground objects. The foreground objects are then integrated into the background, and a combined image is presented to the viewer.
