Abstract

In this paper we present DeepMatrix, a shared 3D virtual environment system based on two open technologies, Java and the Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML). The system is designed for use on current consumer hardware and requires only a standard Web browser with VRML plug-in. Due to a lean client-server implementation, system performance is superior to comparable approaches and easily extensible. This paper also introduces authoring for DeepMatrix environments and discusses results drawn from a large experimental implementation of widely varying and interconnected virtual worlds.
