TOOLS
FOR BUILDING
eMUSE:
an electronic Multi-User Stage Environment
eMUSE links
real and virtual space in a mixed-reality shared environment
for group interaction around common data. It is realised
as a VRML(Virtual Reality Modelling Language)-based
networked multi-user environment by means of opening
the normally closed VRML browser.
eMUSE is
built as a modular system providing independent levels
of implementation for interfacing, rendering and displaying
the virtual environment, for multiple-user support and
for attachment of non-standard, free-body interaction
interfaces such as a vision system.
Any public
available VRML compliant browser can be used as rendering
machine. The external user interface driver of eMUSE
allows the attachment of arbitrary interfaces
local and remote to control navigation and interaction
in mixed realities.
