Abstract

The Newtonian Architecture for Virtual Landscapes Distributed Virtual Reality (NAVL DVR) system compensates for network lag by using a distributed execution model. This paper presents the design of the simulation and execution architecture for the NAVL DVR system. Highlights include: event driven behaviour execution routines, simulation infrastructure for evaluating paths through space-time at local display nodes, and the thread architecture for the simulation and execution architecture support
