Reactive virtual environment system: living worlds multi-user world

摘要

We describe a VRML browser-and-server system that we developed to supoort the Living Worlds specification for multi-user environments. Since the browser suports VRML version 2.0 with quality-of-service (QoS) control, the LivingWorlds module was implemented by using the VRML 2.0 Java application interfaces. We discuss the concept of designing systems with QoS control, and the problems encountered and solutions reached in actually implementing a LivingWorlds client-server system.
