Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently, with the success of Java and the existence of different interfaces be tween VRML and Java, it became possible to implement three-dimensional internet applications on standard VRML browsers (Plugins) using Java. With the widespread use of VRML-Browsers, e.g., as part of the Netscape Com municator and Microsoft's Internet Explorerstandard distributions, everyone connected to the internet via a PC ( and some other platforms) can directly enter a virtual world without installing a new kind of software. The VRML technology offers the basis for new forms of customer services, e.g., interactive three-dimensional product configuration, spare part ordering, or customer training. Also this technology can be used for CSCW in intranets. This book has a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part is intended more for teachers and researchers, while the practical part is in tended for web designers, programmers and students, who want to have both a hands-on approach to implementing Web 3D applications and a technically detailed overview of existing solutions for specific problems in this area.

Book excerpt: "Recent years have seen a huge growth in the demand for online virtual worlds. The type of these online systems can range from virtual meeting setups, to a more video game like competitive environment. An equally large number of virtual worlds have been developed to meet this demand, and the competition between these system is very strong. Developers of such systems can benefit from any edge they can get in terms of technical quality of the system or the enjoy ability of the online experience.We propose that a monitoring system designed especially for virtual worlds will be able to provide that "edge" to the developers. As such, we present, in this Thesis, a flexible real-time monitoring architecture which caters to the specific challenges and requirements of virtual worlds. Handling huge amount of data present in the worlds is dealt by distributing the data gathering process between multiple node. The proposed system modifies the gathered data, into a form more suitable for users to observe in real-time, by filtering it before displaying the final result. We use Mammoth, a massively multiplayer research framework, as the test-bed for a sample implementation of the proposed architecture. We use the results of experiments conducted on this implementation to validate that the system is indeed suitable for real-time monitoring of virtual worlds." --

Download or read book Virtual Worlds written by Jean-Claude Heudin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2003-06-26 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virtual Worlds 2000 is the second in a series of international scientific conferences on virtual worlds held at the International Institute of Multimedia in Paris La Défense (Pôle Universitaire Léonard de Vinci). The term "virtual worlds" generally refers to virtual reality applications or experi ences. We extend the use of these terms to describe experiments that deal with the idea of synthesizing digital worlds on computers. Thus, virtual worlds could be de fined as the study of computer programs that implement digital worlds. Constructing such complex artificial worlds seems to be extremely difficult to do in any sort of complete and realistic manner. Such a new discipline must benefit from a large amount of work in various fields: virtual reality and advanced computer graphics, artificial life and evolutionary computation, simulation of physical systems, and more. Whereas virtual reality has largely concerned itself with the design of 3D immersive graphical spaces, and artificial life with the simulation of living organisms, the field of virtual worlds, is concerned with the synthesis of digital universes considered as wholes, with their own "physical" and "biological" laws.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a wide range of methodological strategies that are designed to take into account the complex, emergent, and continually shifting character of virtual worlds. It interrogates how virtual worlds emerge as objects of study through the development and application of various methodological strategies. Virtual worlds are not considered objects that exist as entities with fixed attributes independent of our continuous engagement with them and interpretation of them. Instead, they are conceived of as complex ensembles of technology, humans, symbols, discourses, and economic structures, ensembles that emerge in ongoing practices and specific situations. A broad spectrum of perspectives and methodologies is presented: Actor-Network-Theory and post-Actor-Network-Theory, performativity theory, ethnography, discourse analysis, Sense-Making Methodology, visual ethnography, multi-sited ethnography, and Social Network Analysis.
