3D Collaborative interactions within virtual environments with OpenMASK for technical objects exploitation

摘要

In this paper we present the mechanisms we implement within the OpenMASK framework with the aim to make more easy the 3D interactions within virtual worlds. We are interested in technical objects with a lot of constraints during the interactions. We talk about the generic mechanisms used to interact with virtual objects and to make the users aware of the interaction services offered by the interactive objects, before and during the interactions. Finally we explain how we take into account the need to make the users aware of other users interactions within collaborative virtual universes.
