Abstract

This paper considers the implications of Distributed Virtual Reality in terms of user interaction and networking. It is argued that the allocation strategy of data in such a system is one of the fundamental problems faced by designers of Distributed Virtual Reality applications. The need to use experience and techniques drawn from distributed databases is highlighted.
