A Multi Server Multi User Approach for Distributed Virtual Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper a VR architecture is described that enables an easy and very scalable way to build up multi user and multi wall projection systems for distributed applications and generic VR interface integration. The approach is based on a multi server architecture and a strict separation of two layers of control of the distributed virtual environment. The 3D representation is full VRML2.0 compliant thus all VRML sensors, events and sounds can be used. The same interactive 3D worlds run in full immersive VR theaters as well as on desktop systems. The virtual environment includes also a wired haptic system and a voice command system, constituting thus a multimodal interface with 3D visualization and haptic as output modalities and tracking, speech and gesture as input modalities.

متن کاملThe Approach of Convergence to Stationary State of Multi Server Queue with Balking (TECHNICAL NOTE)
This investigation deals with multi server queue with balking. The customers arrive in poisson fashion and independent of time, under the assumption that system is initially empty. The number of customers in the system is stochastically increasing and distributed in steady state (stationary state) as required. The expressions for the measure of the speed of convergence from transient state to s...
متن کاملThe General Variables Concept: A Simple Step from Single- to Multi-user Environment
When implementing multi-user cooperation systems in networked virtual environments, synchronizing local representations of shared virtual world has to be considered. It involves distributing and storing the data that represent users’ activity in the virtual world. In this paper we propose a concept of general variables, which formalizes the task of distributing, journaling and locking the data ...
متن کاملConsistency aware update schedule in multi-server Distributed Virtual Environments
Multi-server architecture is very popular in Distributed Virtual Environments. Although multi-server architecture has good scalability, the load balance and consistency are still challenging issues. Because of server resource limitations (computation, communication etc), the consistency of the virtual world cannot be guaranteed sometimes. In this paper, we address this problem by developing sch...
