Developing VR applications with the inVRs framework

To improve the development process of Virtual Environments and Networked Virtual Environments the inVRs (interactive networked Virtual Reality system) framework provides a clearly structured approach for the design of highly interactive and responsive NVEs. It consists of independent modules for interaction, for navigation, and for network communication. This half-day tutorial will present the concepts of the framework, basic application development of an interactive NVE and advanced features like the inclusion of own input devices, the support of multi-display systems, and the use of articulated avatars in combination with tracking systems.
