  text: We present an approach for real-time rendering of complex 3D scenes consisting
    of millions of polygons on limited graphics hardware. In a preprocessing step,
    powerful hardware is used to gain fine granular global visibility information
    of a scene using an adaptive sampling algorithm. Additively the visual influence
    of each object on the eventual rendered image is estimated. This influence is
    used to select the most important objects to display in our approximative culling
    algorithm. After the visibility data is compressed to meet the storage capabilities
    of small devices, we achieve an interactive walkthrough of the Power Plant scene
    on a standard netbook with an integrated graphics chipset.
