In this paper, we present the design and implementation of the VRML97 Distributed Authoring Interface (DAI) introduced in Spin-3D, a distributed Collaborative Virtual Environment (CVE). Our proposal is a powerful interface, very close to the classical VRML97 External Authoring Interface (EAI). The DAI allows the connection of any external application with the Spin-3D CVE platform. With the Spin-3D CVE platform and the DAI, it will be easy to develop collaborative applications. We use the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) to support distributed authoring applications. Complex collaborative applications and remote interaction introduce new considerations in the design of the DAI: we enhance the standard VRML97 EAI with new interfaces in order to easily traverse the VRML97 scene graph and limit the network overhead introduced by the remote interaction. Moreover, taking advantage of the CORBA middleware, external applications can be written with any programming language for which the OMG defined an IDL mapping.

“…(Picard et al, 2002), the SPIN-3D proposal introduces a sharing description for each single-user VRML97 object in order to create a multi-user object. As a result it has to keep the existing VRML97 scene graph unchanged and to use a sharing description for the declaration of the shared nodes (called SharedNodes).…”

This work describes a new Java web application that enables users to explore and annotate VRML worlds collaboratively. The web application consists of a Java servlet, Java Server Pages (JSP) and supporting classes. There are two significant features of this work. First, users can explore existing standard VRML worlds collaboratively with automatic multiuser augmentation. Second, the user is free from the inconsistencies of interacting web browsers, a VRML browsers and a Java virtual machines. The clients are only required to have a web browser and a working VRML browser that can employ ECMAScript script nodes. Further, Java is not required on the client end. Through this web application, users can collaboratively navigate and annotate a virtual world with images, audio, text, video, viewpoints and tours.
