Abstract

InterSpaceTM is an advanced networked virtual reality system that presents shared three-dimensional computer graphics (CG) worlds via the Internet where multiple users can enjoy synchronous communications with voice, video and text. Users can control their avatars as a surrogate interface. In InterSpace users can walk around and interact with other people and interact with contents. In this paper, we describe the function-distributed architecture used in InterSpace. The architecture enables flexible configuration of server functions and load distribution. It also allows users to select media and client PCs to switch servers dynamically.
