Managing Network Troubles while Interacting within Collaborative Virtual Environments

We are interested in real time collaborative interactions within Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVE). This domain relies on the low latency offered by high speed networks. Participants of networked collaborative virtual environments can suffer from misunderstanding weird behavior of some objects of the virtual universe, especially when low level network troubles occur during a collaborativ...

A version numbering scheme for informational objects used in VM live migration

Various numbering schemes are used to track different versions and revisions of files, software packages, and documents. One major challenge in this regard is the lack of an all-purpose, adaptive, comprehensive and efficient standard. To resolve the challenge, this article presents Quadruple Adaptive Version Numbering Scheme. In the proposed scheme, the version identifier consists of four integ...

ALCOVE: Design and Implementation of an Object-Centric Virtual Environment

This thesis presents a new interaction metaphor for object-centric tasks in the form of a prototype VR system, ALCOVE. Our new interaction metaphor is based on the observation that many users perform object-centric tasks: tasks centered around objects that must be manipulated and examined in detail. Although such tasks are numerous, traditional VR systems have yet to provide an interaction meta...
