Distributed Virtual Environment Technology, And Some Research

With the development of computer graphics and networking technologies, distributed virtual environment (Dye) has become an important research area in computer science. In a DVE system, clients at different places can simultaneously explore a virtual world and interact with each other.The main content of this thesis is to introduce some research topics and technologies in this area, and then to present the research works of mine in this area.We analyzed the application value of using DVE technologies in building wandering and room designing. Then, we designed a RGCAS system with functions of guiding and cooperative designing. We also development the prototype of this system.We also discussed the way of partitioning the MSDVE world to balance the workload among different servers as well as minimize the inter-server communication. We gave our algorithm, partitioning algorithm based on competition. Experiments were carried out to illustrate the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm.
