Abstract

The research reported in this paper describes the development and application of a tool that aims to increase the opportunity for architects to design and collaborate within virtual worlds and enable effective and transparent information exchange.The objective was to provide a Virtual Reality (VR) tool that is capable of creating 3D shapes in a shared VR environment, thus allowing the early design and its evolution to be shared by professional and client body. The system has been implemented using Java™ and Java3D™ and it has been tested on PCs workstations as well as an Sgi system running a Reality Centre.
