DeepMatrix - An Open Technology Based Virtual Environment System, ASU-CSE-TR-103098, The Visual Computer Journal, vienna.eas.asu.edu/wagner/academic/ papers/deepmatrix.html

In this paper we present DeepMatrix, a virtual environment system based on two open technologies, Java and the Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML). The system is designed for use on current consumer hardware and requires only a standard Web browser with VRML plug-in. Due to a lean client – server implementation, system performance is superior to comparable approaches and easily extensible. This paper also introduces authoring for Deep-Matrix environments and discusses results drawn from a large experimental implementation of widely varying and interconnected virtual worlds
