Abstract :
The virtual environment research community is focusing on the human computer interaction model for fully articulated 3D humans in the networked virtual environment. As that work moves forward there is the desire to internetwork large numbers of players. The NPSNET Research Group is in the forefront of that work and is focusing on the network and software architecture necessary to support large scale VEs. The paper presents a look at our multicasting and applications layer protocol research
