A Window on Shared Virtual Environments
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents the architecture of a multi-user distributed Virtual Environment (VE) software system currently used in the Virtual Perception Laboratory at the SRI International. It shows how the Linda parallel language helped in the realization of that system. An unusual interface used to fly through this shared VE is also presented: a handheld display (HHD).

GTrust: a group based trust model
Nowadays, the growth of virtual environments such as virtual organizations, social networks, and ubiquitous computing, has led to the adoption of trust concept. One of the methods of making trust in such environments is to use a long-term relationship with a trusted partner. The main problem of this kind of trust, which is based on personal experiences, is its limited domain. Moreover, both par...
متن کاملSharing and immersing applications in a 3D virtual inhabited world
In a remote computer-mediated collaboration, co-workers have a limited perception of each other: they loose the sense of immersion. To deal with this problem, some collaborative environments as NetMeeting [1] use videoconferencing. Leung [2] claims that these systems lack the sense of immersion because every participant sees others in separate windows and doesn't know who is acting. In order to...
متن کاملPerception of Shared Visual Space: Establishing Common Ground in Real and Virtual Environments
When people have visual access to the same space, judgments of this shared visual space (shared vista) can facilitate communication and collaboration. This study establishes baseline performance on a shared vista task in real environments and draws comparisons with performance in visually immersive virtual environments. Participants indicated which parts of the scene were visible to an assistan...
متن کاملImproving results of urban design research by enhancing advanced semiexperiments in virtual environments
There is abundant literature regarding virtual reality as a technology of interest in the present age. However, there are few comprehensive studies on strategies that can improve the level of urban design research using this technique. To investigate the issue, this paper first reviews the concept of virtual reality. Next, the opinions of experts in the field of virtual reality technology are s...
متن کاملAn Experimental Hybrid User Interface for Col- laboration
We present EMMIE (Environment Management for Multi-user Information Environments), an experimental user interface to a collaborative augmented environment. Users share a 3D virtual space and manipulate virtual objects representing information to be discussed. This approach not only allows for cooperation in a shared physical space, but also addresses tele-collaboration in physically separate bu...
