Collaborative Virtual Environments: Managing the Shared Spaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
The High Level Architecture (HLA) [1] is a reusable software architecture for the development and execution of distributed simulation applications. It is fostered by the Defense Modelling and Simulation Office (DMSO) [2] of the US Department of Defense (DoD) since 1996. The HLA has become a new standard for distributed simulation in the Object Management Group (OMG) in November 1998 and the Institute of Electronic and Electrical Engineers (IEEE) as IEEE-1516 in September 2000[]. In this paper, we review the basic concepts of distributed interactive simulation and its evolving history from SIMNET to HLA. Then we illustrate how the HLA supports the requirements of the collaborative virtual environment (CVE) via its service groups, using our virtual shopping mall application as an example.

متن کاملCollaborative Virtual Environment Standards: A Performance Evaluation
Collaborative Virtual Environments are virtual reality spaces that enable participants to collaborate and share objects as if physically present in the same place. These collaboration spaces require strict performance characteristics. Today there are many systems developed specifically for collaboration, including DIVE, CALVIN, and COVEN. At the same time, some relatively new standards that add...

متن کاملSupporting Problem based Learning by a Collaborative Virtual Environment: A Cooperative Hypermedia Approach
Problem based learning promotes engagement in meaningful learning and cooperation among students. When applying PBL in distributed groups distance has to be bridged by means of technology. Collaborative virtual environments (CVE) can help to overcome two crucial problems of PBL, if used in a distributed learning situation: Firstly, learners have problems to understand, interact with, and tailor...
متن کاملCommon Frame of reference in collaborative virtual environments and their impact on presence
Virtual collaborative environment are 3D shared spaces in which people can work together. To collaborate through these systems, users must have a shared comprehension of the environment. The objective of this experimental study was to determine if visual stable landmarks improve the construction of a common representation of the virtual environment and thus facilitate collaboration. This seems ...
