Creating Virtual Worlds Using Adapting XML
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with two aspects of virtual world creation – consistency of data and isolation of independent concepts. These concepts include among others 3D graphics rendering, physical simulation, audio processing, or user interaction. Current systems for virtual world creation focus more on concrete concepts and less on their independence thus limiting extensibility. They usually define static core functionality that quickly becomes outdated due to the fast development in computer industry. Adapting XML on the other hand focuses on extensibility, defining rules for cooperation (data sharing) and providing mechanisms for concept isolation. This makes it suitable as the base layer for extensible virtual world languages.

متن کاملA Grammatical Approach to Autonomous Design in 3d Virtual Worlds Using Generative Design Agents
3D virtual worlds are networked environments designed using the place metaphor. 3D virtual worlds as Computer-aided Design (CAD) tools have shown promising potentials in areas such as design simulation, distant team works as well as interdisciplinary design collaboration. Recent developments in collaborative 3D virtual worlds focus on interactivity, flexibility and adaptability. Rather than cre...
متن کاملStoring and Querying Probabilistic XML Using a Probabilistic Relational DBMS
This work explores the feasibility of storing and querying probabilistic XML in a probabilistic relational database. Our approach is to adapt known techniques for mapping XML to relational data such that the possible worlds are preserved. We show that this approach can work for any XML-to-relational technique by adapting a representative schema-based (inlining) as well as a representative schem...
