An Asynchronous Control Method For Reducing Inconsistency In DVE

Abstract

Maintaining the consistency of each node is the key factor to preserve system usability in a distributed virtual environment (DVE) system. However, due to the existence of communication delay between nodes, it is hard to sustain the absolute consistency of the system while providing acceptable responsiveness of the nodes, thus affecting the interactive experience of the user in the virtual world. In this paper, we propose a new consistency control method based on the asynchronous clock model, which can satisfy the responsiveness requirement of each node and reduce the overall inconsistency of the system. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed method, the experimental process and results analysis are also displayed in this paper.
