We consider the case of a virtual world of peers that are organized in an overlay built by Delaunay Triangulation. Application layer routing is used to determine the path taken in the overlay between two peers. Application layer routing incurs a major delay penalty since it ignores the characteristics of the physical network topology.We show how to ...

In-World Behaviors and Learning in a Virtual World
International Journal of Virtual and Personal Learning Environments, 2014Educational virtual worlds can give students opportunities that would not otherwise be possible in face-to-face settings. The SciEthics Interactive simulations allow learners to conduct scientific research and practice ethical decision-making within a virtual world. This study examined the in-world behaviors that identify students who perceive learning

Networked virtual worlds allow multiple virtual worlds connected on a network to share information with one another. Developing such virtual worlds is, however, fraught with many difficulties. Handling both the networking and user interface needs of virtual worlds in an efficient manner poses interesting trade-off-options. In this paper, we discuss the

Accessibility in virtual worlds
CHI '08 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2008Virtual worlds present both an opportunity and a challenge to people with disabilities. Standard ways to make such worlds accessible to a broad set of users have yet to emerge, although some core requirements are already clear. This paper describes work in progress towards an accessible 3D multi-player game that includes a set of novel tools for ...

An Architecture for Virtual Worlds
Presence: Teleoperators and Virtual Environments, 1992This paper presents a system architecture for creating interactive, multisensory, three-dimensional environments called virtual worlds. The architecture specifically addresses the requirements of virtual worlds for high performance, flexibility, and coordination of concurrent events.

The real world and virtual worlds
Internet Research, 1997Discusses some of the limitations of virtual reality (VR) with reference to socio‐technical systems ‐ the interaction of people with technology. Argues that VR has potential applications but that these applications may prove to be more limited than some proponents would suggest.

Organization-based multi-agent systems (MAS) can be represented by means of 3D virtual worlds facilitating then the interaction among participants, i.e humans and agents. In this paper we propose a system that can automatically generate a 3D virtual world from formal specifications of both a MAS and a design visual style (i.e a shape grammar).

Proceedings of the ACM symposium on Virtual reality software and technology, 1998
There is no doubt that 3D interfaces edged 2D ones in 3D modeling applications. 2D input devices cannot provide 3D information directly and are less efficient. Direct manipulation, which is highly desirable in 3D modeling, is also impossible. This paper describes the design and implementation of a virtual hand interface for a 3D modeler, which can be ...

This article raises the question of political innovation that can potentially emerge within, and spread from, the virtual worlds. Locating the signs of political change in the surfacing of innovative political concepts, the article proposes the investigation of keywords in the codes and rules of the virtual communities, as well as the compilation of a ...

The research paper describes the development of a user friendly 3D virtual world. For the research, we modeled building number 3 of the Technological University of Panama, Victor Levi Sasso Campus.For the virtual world development we consider the use of an avatar, which becomes the user's virtual representation that interacts with certain objects in ...
