Abstract :
A distributed realtime system for immersive visualization is presented which uses distributed interaction for control. We have focused on a network architecture for distributed interaction processing for multiple devices and distributed visualization. Furthermore we also discussed in detail the user tracking with fixed and pan-tilt-zoom cameras. One of our goals is the use of standard hardware and standard network protocols for the system. For the distributed realtime visualization we use consumer graphics hardware only.
