Collaborative Virtual Environments for Industrial Training and e-Commerce

Collaborative Virtual Environment (CVE) concepts have been used in many systems in the past few years. Applications of such technology range from military combat simulations to various civilian commercial applications. This paper presents CVE as a medium for Industrial Training and Electronic Commerce. Key-Words: Collaborative Virtual Environments, Virtual Reality, Collaboration, Java3D, VRML, Multimedia, Industrial Training, E-Commerce.
