{"product_id":"large-scale-collaborative-virtual-environments-von-christopher-greenhalgh","title":"Large Scale Collaborative Virtual Environments","description":"Collaborative virtual environments are multi-user virtual realities which actively support communication and co-operation. This book addresses the theory, design, realisation and evaluation of such systems, with a particular emphasis on support for large numbers of distributed users. A broad approach is taken, which ranges from the sociology of interpersonal communication to the management of communication in distributed systems. The emphasis on multi-user environments distinguishes this book from the many general books on virtual reality which only deal with single-user systems. This book presents: models of multi-party awareness and interaction in space-based systems; detailed designs of two prototypes (MASSIVE-1 and MASSIVE-2); experiences with collaborative virtual environments created using these; and analyses of the corresponding network requirements. Many of these results and ideas are applicable to other systems and approaches.\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9781447112228\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9781447112228","offer_id":39416978407517,"sku":"9781447112228","price":106.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/f71114b2-ac72-41d8-871b-3d26761fb94c.jpg?v=1761800750","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/large-scale-collaborative-virtual-environments-von-christopher-greenhalgh","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
