WebSpace Navigator 1.1 provides several new features:

*** Performance improvements ***

WebSpace Navigator 1.1 is based on the new 2.1 release of Open
Inventor, which provides many rendering performance improvements.
(http://www.sgi.com/Technology/Inventor.html)

WebSpace Navigator 1.1 employs a new method for degrading the scene to
provide near constant frame update rates during scene navigation.
Complex worlds can now be walked theough on an Indy. For instance,
try out http://www.bath.ac.uk/Centres/CASA/VRML/bath_x.wrl.gz
which is very cool if you take the camera to ground level,
or the Lightscape radiosity models at http://www.lightscape.com

*** In-scene navigation improvements ***

A new viewing mode provides interactive seeking, navigating,
and link-following with clicks of the mouse.
See the `Click-to-Navigate in Scene' option or the new dashboard button.

*** Dashboard improvements ***

The WebSpace dashboard has a new look, as well as additional
functionality which includes access to camera viewpoints.
