Abstract :
The world of computing is becoming a world in which people work, learn, and play together, rather than as single users. This change in people´s perspective and expectations will be a major driver of the future of computing. In this paper the convergence of a virtual video club system and a virtual classroom is presented. A single framework for developing multiparty virtual environment applications is explored
