Interactive Multi-user Virtual Environment

The thesis proposes an extensive new system for virtual world hosting and management. The system is designed to o er real-time 3D graphical representation of the virtual world, to communicate and exchange data over a public network, to allow for automatic distribution of major changes in the virtual world to client installations, to allow clients to fully de ne the contents of the world and also to create new worlds directly via the client software interface, and to contain active elements programmable by the means of a programming language of sufficient flexibility. A reference implementation of the proposed system is included. The key aspects of the proposed system is that it should be universal, easily extensible and open for other potential virtual world creators. A CD included with the thesis contains source codes and translated executables of the program, with a simple sample database of a virtual world
