An Asynchronous Architecture to Manage Communication, Display, and User Interaction in Distributed Virtual Environments

Abstract

In Distributed Virtual Environments, each machine equally handles the communications over the network, provides the user with a view of the world, and processes her requests. A major issue is to ensure that the network communication does not hinder the interactivity between the machine and the user. In this paper, we present a program designed to achieve this goal, based on tools rarely used in this area.
