[x3d-public] Reality vs. Collaboration

[Christoph Valentin]

Hi John,

I am considering to use the "ownCloud" software (mainly a file sharing software) to collaborate on files and directories.

The files and directories being monolithic X3Dv4 scenes being executed locally, however using WebRTC for voice and video (and NSN/ALP for shared state) via IP Multicast (over VPN)

NSN/ALP ...... still to be defined

The WebRTC sessions would be manually described by SDP document (also distributed via ownCloud)
 
But this is not more than an idea, would need thorough development by a ( still virtual ) community :-)

Also, the web in the past has been a solo activity, with tools like Meteor not being very popular.
 
There’s a whole raft of collaboration research.   I think it’s typically called “whiteboarding,” but I’m not positive on that.
 
I tried to do collaborative programming by demonstration, using Mark Linton’s InterViews. This kind of thinking (Fresco was supposed to be a CORBA based windowing system) kind of died when the web came out, but there are still tools like Google docs out there.
 
We have various varieties of chat today.  I saw a post recently about Second Life being upgraded.
 
In other words, the web has not really been a collaborative system, but there are exceptions like Git.
 
One might consider git as a basis for Virtual Reality.
 
Your thoughts?
 
John

About "collaboration":

I am not 100% sure, but I think, Don once told me collaboration not being one of the "core" topics at Web3D.

So I think, defining virtual reality via the term of collaboration might be problematic.

Opinions?

Virtual reality is collaboration with reality.
