Title: Interaction and Behavior in Web-Based Shared Virtual Environments
Abstract: VRML has already become the standard for the exchange of static 3D scenes on the Web. However, several approaches were recently made to extend it by behaviors and interactions in order to support interactive 3D applications on the Internet. Most of these approaches including the current VRML 2.0 draft specification apply to single, isolated users, browsing through virtual worlds. But already in the near future, large numbers of users will share a single virtual space and par- ticipate at virtual events. To support this kind of applications, a more flexible approach is required. In this paper we will present our approach to support interac- tions of multiple users as well as behaviors in shared virtual en- vironments, based on VRML by using a flexible and distribut- able event and message passing model.
