A Development Framework for Virtools-Based DVR Driving System

The multi-client technique framework is an essential mechanism of the Distributed Virtual Reality (DVR) driving simulator, which supports remote network real-time interaction and cooperation. As one of the excellent Virtual Reality software Development tools, Virtools is remarkable for its strong capability of interaction. Through an in-depth study on Virtools, the authors have developed a distributed driving simulator system based on the 3D engine, and studied the distributed network system with a real case. At the same time, some key issues for Distributed Virtual Reality of the Virtools-based platform, such as real-time prediction and dead reckoning, have been discussed in the paper.
