[X3D-Public] multiuser mode (newbie question)

[Christoph Valentin]

Dear all

I did some private (hobby) studies regarding multiuser mode and rather 
complex scenes (combining content from different authors) and would like to 
ask, if you could second my experiences,

or if somebody disagrees (the whole project is documented at 
http://simulrr.wordpress.com).

See below

I am aware of Network Sensor and DIS, is there something else in the 
standard, that can be used for multiuser mode (besides SAI/EAI)?

Thanks in advance
Christoph

                
                BS Contact        

Supported from the beginning of the project. Multi-user-mode with 
<EventStreamSensor> and BS Collaborate definitively possible.        

Octaga        

Supported from spring 2009 onwards. Multi-user-mode with <NetworkSensor> 
theoretically possible, but no free test version of collaboration server 
available -> multi-user-mode cannot be supported currently.        

Instant Reality        

First trials positive. Yet unknown, whether Network Sensor node is 
supported or not. According to X3D-public mailing list an open source 
multi-user-framework exists (to be analysed).        

Free WRL        

First trials show, that <ExternProtoDeclare> is not supported &rarr; 
postponed.        

Xj3D        

First trials show, that Xj3D has problems with nested prototypes &rarr; 
postponed.        

Vivaty        

Not available AFAIK        

SwirlX3D        

First trials not un-positive, but show up problems with viewpoints in 
prototypes, proximity sensors in prototypes etc. &rarr; postponed
