Abstract

This paper presents insights gained in the design and evaluation of C-VIBE, a 3D multi-user simulation game developed within VERDI (virtual environment for real time distributed applications over the Internet), a project exploring advanced applications running over a satellite network infrastructure, and in particular innovative solutions for management education. The paper concentrates on factors to be taken into account when developing 3D multi-user versions of existing, standalone 2D simulation games.
