[WWW-Vrml] [X3D-Public] ANN: Deep MatrixIP9 1.01 Open-source Multi-user System

[Lars O. Grobe]

Hi Russ,

this is great, seams that it is close what many here were looking for! 
Great! I have yet to get it installed on my Linux system to try it. Some 
questions:

1) Is there any hope to make the whole thing be web-starteable? E.g. as 
a java app started from a web-browser, that detect whether 
InstantReality or any other working vrml-browser is available and then 
opens the world using that? I guess packaging is high priority one 
people want to publish their Deep-MatrixIP-based worlds.

2) Has anyone done scaleability tests yet? Number of polygons still 
useable on standard clients etc?

3) I see the foundation for people building vrml-worlds and connecting 
them here. Now deep-matrix brings the client to do 
client-server-communication. The next step would probably separate the 
client libs from the server, so that people can install the libraries as 
an extension of their vrml-browser and open and explore any world 
speaking the same protocols?

Thank you for providing us with this code! Cheers,

Lars.
