Abstract

In this paper, we present the design and
implementation of a VRML97 multi-user layer, which is
introduced in the EVE distributed virtual reality platform.
Main consideration of our multi-user extension is the ease
of transforming single-user virtual worlds to multi-user
virtual worlds, as well as the conformity with any standard
VRML97 browser. Furthermore, we present the EVE' s
communication platform, which can be used in order to
support Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVEs). Main
issues regarding the effective network communication as
well as the initialization of the 3D scene are discussed in
this paper.
