Data Exchange in Networked Collaborative Virtual Environments

چکیده
One of the ultimate goals of SNHC is to provide a framework supporting the Networked Collaborative Virtual Environments (NCVE) for a wide range of applications. We briefly present an existing NCVE system called Virtual Life Network (VLNET). VLNET is a NCVE system incorporating realistic representation and animation of virtual humans for higher realism of simulation and more natural interaction with users of the system, as well as with autonomous agents. Based on our experience in VLNET we analyze the requirements of NCVE systems that should be considered by SNHC. In particular, we examine in detail various types of data traveling through the network in this type of application, and requirements for each type. Introduction In its ultimate extension, SNHC will provide a framework to support Networked Collaborative Virtual Environments (NCVEs) integrating multiple graphically represented

Towards Natural Communication in Networked Collaborative Virtual Environments
Networked Collaborative Virtual Environments (NCVE) have been a hot topic of research for some time now. However, most of the existing NCVE systems restrict the communication between the participants to text messages or audio communication. The natural means of human communication are richer than this. Facial expressions, lip movements, body postures and gestures all play an important role in o...
متن کاملNetworked Virtual Environments for Collaborative Learning
In this invited talk, I examine how the technologies of networking and desktop virtual reality can be used to enhance the quality of student learning. I use the C–VISions (Collaborative Virtual Interactive Simulations) system, developed at the National University of Singapore, as an exemplar system to help the audience appreciate the unique advantages that the technology affords for student lea...
متن کاملHybrid Participant Embodiments in Networked Collaborative Virtual Environments
In this paper we are presenting a novel approach to participant embodiment in networked collaborative virtual environments. Our embodiment approach integrates live video into 3D objects for a hybrid participant representation. We implemented our ideas in a Networked Collaborative Virtual Environment system, VLNET and investigated network and rendering issues in comparison with virtual human par...
متن کاملEnabling Effective Collaborative Learning in Networked Virtual Environments
This paper considers the issue of enabling effective collaborative learning in networked virtual environments. It is suggested that the increasing use of networked virtual environments for learning and teaching, plus the high level of use of group assessment practices requires us to enable effective learning and ensure that it does take place. The roles and interactions of the individual studen...
متن کاملDesigning Interaction and Interest Management Protocols using Noughts and Crosses Games
Interaction management is concerned with the protocols that govern structured interactive activities among multiple users or agents in networked collaborative environments. Interest management is concerned with the relevance-based data filtering in networked collaborative environments. The main objective is to avoid broadcasting data unless it is to be shared by all the processes, and to provid...
