Urbi et Orbi: a distributed environment framework.
The Urbi et Orbi project aims to build a distributed environment framework whose first applications are virtual worlds. Virtual worlds are virtual 3D scenes personneld with common objects (houses, trees, etc.),avatars (i.e. the virtual image of the users) in which one may walk around and interact. In addition, this virtual world is distributed,in the sense that its full description is spread over several computers, connected via a network. There is no needfor a single host to have a full knowledge of the world. We focus on virtual worlds for a large audience, therefore there are no other material requirements than a standard personal machine, with a connection to a local network or the Internet. Windows and unix or linux platforms are supported. Scalability is required
