Abstract-Continuing advances and reduced costs in computational power, graphics processors and network bandwidth have led to 3D immersive multi-user virtual worlds becoming increasingly accessible while offering an improved and engaging Quality of Experience. At the same time the functionality of the World Wide Web continues to expand alongside the computing infrastructure it runs on and pages can now routinely accommodate many forms of interactive multimedia components as standard features -streaming video for example. Inevitably there is an emerging expectation that the Web will expand further to incorporate immersive 3D environments. This is exciting because humans are well adapted to operating in 3D environments and it is challenging because existing software and skill sets are focused around competencies in 2D Web applications. Open Simulator (OpenSim) is a freely available open source toolkit that empowers users to create and deploy their own 3D environments in the same way that anyone can create and deploy a Web site. Its characteristics can be seen as a set of references as to how the 3D Web could be instantiated. This paper describes experiments carried out with OpenSim to better understand network and system issues, and presents experience in using OpenSim to develop and deliver applications for education and cultural heritage. Evaluation is based upon observations of these applications in use and measurements of systems both in the lab and in the wild.

“…MPEG-V aims to cover not only interfaces between different virtual worlds, but to also develop standards for interfacing the real world with virtual worlds. It is this latter area that work is most strongly focussed at the moment, with particular attention the interfaces between physical sensor and controller devices and the virtual world as well as between the virtual world and physical actuators and motor devices (Gelissen, 2009).…”

It is well documented that virtual worlds today are applied in both educational and commercial teaching and learning contexts. Where virtual worlds were once the reserve of entertainment, they have now taken on a variety of roles as platforms for business meetings, simulation, and training and education. In this context, the integration and interoperability with both online and offline resources and technologies is important. In this paper, the authors review progress toward increased integration and interoperability from the first virtual world games to today’s virtual world platforms. This paper highlights opportunities that will arise from further improvements in the ability to create virtual world platforms, content and activities that are truly interoperable, as well as more significant challenges along the way.

“…MPEG-V (ISO/IEC 23005) provide an architecture and associated information representations to enable the interoperability between virtual worlds, e.g., digital content provider of a virtual world, gaming, simulation, DVD, and with the real world, e.g., sensors, actuators, vision and rendering, robotics, support for independent living, social and welfare systems, banking, insurance, travel, real estate, rights management and many others [2].…”
