A study on space administration method for networked virtual environment

摘要

When a large Networked Virual Environment is created by connecting many small Virtual Environments like WWW, it will give rise various adverse problems such as generation of too many links, generation of inappropriate links and appearance of strayers in the broadly expanded virtual space. Therefore, a new method is proposed by which of can create and manage complex and large Virtual Environment effectively. The major points of the proposed method are, (1) introduction of geographic information database for describing geographic relating for all the elemental Virtual Environment, and (2) generation of geographic map from the database to show users to let them understand the whole span of virtual space and recognise where they are in the whole world very easily.
