The avatar navigation of distributed virtual environment by using multiview client

The multi participant VR system can more enhance the sense of reality than existing single user VR systems. But, we should be careful when designing the system, since the current Internet using TCP/IP cannot afford to deliver such a massive amount of information required for the real time constraint of a VR system. We introduce distributed network structure and protocols for multiple user virtual space navigation and interaction through their avatars. This network structure is composed of heterogeneous multi servers, multiview clients and protocols. The multiview client can give proper information to the avatar when navigating the distributed virtual environment. And, for minimizing traffic on the network, we designed the VSTP-the Virtual Space Transfer Protocol to meet real time constraints. The avatars have nine behaviors and recognize the state of each other by using the pre-defined VSTP protocol
