<div dir="auto">Thanks, Nicholas!</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I have some thoughts related to JSONverse/Argonverse, a multiuser X3D authoring/publishing system. This is a think pad, and requires no response. Even though this is sent to Nicholas, anyone can contribute. In particular, I’m interested in old networking group members to chime in.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">1) I am currently planning on using <a href="http://socket.io">socket.io</a> on multiple servers for multiple authors to publish scenes to multiple users or clients. This is the base profile and MVP. I plan on modifying an old multiple user system I have.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">2) Might there be a way to publish Inlines and PROTOs individually? Can this be done with SAI or DIS? Without knowing in advance which Inlines and PROTOs will be updated?</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">3) How might individual images/audio/video be updated within a scene for all users? SAI or DIS?</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">4) What might be a good publish/subscribe user interface? Update changes vs Update whole scene? Receive changes vs Receive whole scene vs Live update?</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">5) How might someone who joins the party late receive the whole scene? Do we need to store the whole scene on the server? Is there a way to replay updates?</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">6) My LIRCom does updates, but in some cases, allows for a client to SELECT data from other clients. Is this really feasible unless one other client is chosen, or there’s a “scene reference” to download scenes from? What happens if the scene reference goes away?</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">7) I realize in the past multi-user editing was done with XMPP, and probably updated individual characters in edit mode.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">8) I’m looking for way to do this without polluting the scene with tons of publish and update scripts, keeping update scripts external to the X3D scene, so the scene author can use a simple publish/update button combo.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">9) How might this be tied to Omniverse or the Metaverse?</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I realize this is better for a networking group, but I’m not aware of a networking group in Web3D. Is there one for the MSF? When there was a networking group in Web3D, the discussion was about protocols, instead of the above.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I am aware of DIS for multiple avatars scene updates, but I’m more worried about publishing DIS scenes than communicating avatar position updates.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">This is like a multiple user authoring system along with multiple user browsing.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Thanks,</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">John </div><div dir="auto"><div class="gmail_quote" dir="auto"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Aug 13, 2024 at 10:59 PM Polys, Nicholas <<a href="mailto:npolys@vt.edu">npolys@vt.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
