Abstract

The goal of this research is to propose a technique to integrate the mobile reality system into the legacy networked virtual environment. This research composes of two essential research domains, one is networked virtual environment (NVE) and the other is mobile computing. With the proposed technique, a user can use a mobile device to join a networked virtual environment and interact with desktop users of the same virtual environment. To achieve this goal, three technical issues have to be solved including mobile networking, resource-shortage and coordinates coordination. The paper presents solutions to all of these issues. Further, a Mobility Supporting Server (MSS) is proposed to implement presented solutions into an existing networked virtual environment, called 3D virtual campus, Taiwan. The result of this experimental research enlightens the possibility of building a Multiplayer Mobile Mixed Reality (M3R) environment in the near future.
