Multi-User, Interactive Virtual Reality via the Internet

چکیده
This thesis presents solutions to many of the problems associated with large-scale, widely distributed virtual reality, based on an architecture of heterogeneous devices and limited publically accessible bandwidth. The emphasis is on achieving multiuser , interactive virtual reality via the Internet, which inherently involves the associated problems, due to the nature of the Internet. The order of the discussion will be to first present a taxonomy of possibly scalable architectures based on their communication topology and data distribution. The next section will give an overview of related work in this field. Following on from this will be sections dealing with the problems involved with shared worlds of this nature and their possible solutions based on the author's research. A final architecture will then be presented which encompasses these solutions. Finally, it will be discussed how to interface the architecture with VRML(the Virtual Reality Modelling Language) which has become the standard virtual world description language over the Internet.

The Distributed Interactive Virtual Environment (DIVE) is a heterogeneous distributed VR system based on UNIX and Internet networking protocols. Each participating process has a copy of a replicated database and changes are propagated to the other processes with reliable multicast protocols. DIVE provides a dynamic virtual environment whew applications and users can enter and leave the environm...

Internet based virtual reality offers the opportunity to render content in three dimensions. In addition, the Internet provides a medium to support collaborative activities. In this work, we describe how collaborative capabilities are integrated into the Interactive Land use VRML Application (ILUVA). ILUVA is a VRML based application that supports highly interactive functionality, live updates,...

This paper describes design issues involved in providing remote users with internet access to laboratory or production line based hardware. Simulation tools for the robotic hardware were developed using C++ and VRML 97 to create a desktop virtual reality environment which improves the visualisation of the manipulator hardware and associated workspace. Communication between the remote user and p...

This paper describes the application of Internet-based three-dimensional (3-D) user interfaces, comparing them with more traditional two-dimensional (2-D) interfaces. The modelling of 3-D worlds in the Virtual Reality Modelling Language (VRML) is described, together with an overview of VRML and its likely future direction. Multi-user shared environments, which enable Internet users to meet and ...
