Diamond Park and Spline: Social Virtual Reality With 3D Animation, Spoken Interaction, and Runtime Extendability |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
Diamond Park is a social virtual reality system in which multiple geographically separated users can speak to each other and participate in joint activities. The central theme of the park is cycling. Human visitor; to the park are represented by 3D animated avatars and can explore a square mile of 3D terrain, in addition to human visitors, the park hosts a number of computer simulations, including tour buses and autonomous animated figures. Diamond Park is implemented using a software platform called Spline, which makes it easy to build virtual worlds where multiple people interact with each other and with computer simulations in a 3D visual and audio environment. Spline performs all the processing necessary to maintain a distributed, modifiable, and extendable model oi a virtual world that is shared between the participants.
