3D information manipulation and collaboration for Internet virtual space

摘要

The SHINE system, developed in Virtual Reality Center, ETRI, is a middleware for implementing distributed networked virtual environments. It has a distributed client-server structure, manages multiple virtual spaces and realizes internet collaborations and real-time sharing of 3-D data between users. In this paper, we extend the authors' previous results by adding a number of functionality and object-oriented characteristics to the client browser module for the SHINE system. The improvement in the SHINE system includes text chatting, video conferencing and a number of utilities for internet collaboration.
