Dear Friends of Realtime 3D Graphics

Not necessary to say, I like the approach of the FreeWRL developers that was introduced last summer on the x3d-public mailing list.

That proposal can be looked after at the archives of x3d-public: http://web3d.org/pipermail/x3d-public_web3d.org/2023-June/018878.html (and then follow the thread up to my latest e-mail from Sat Mar 16 07:43:28 PDT 2024).

I.e.: the multiuser capabilities of any sensor (touch sensor, time sensor, plane sensor, ……) are realized by Comment PDUs via the DIS protocol.

This approach has the advantage the author of the scene does not need to care about multiuser (almost).

See the demo video for our (we = the “Society for Lifelong Collaborating“) “teapot review”scene:

We want, I want, invest some of my spare time, in order to analyse the pros and cons against the Network Sensor (e.g. BS Contact) or other technologies. This is our goal for 2024.

The whole story will be available on my private blackboard pages, after today in the evening. (u: doug, p: freewrl).
