| Project Abstract | ||||
Current users
of Virtual Reality (VR) Environments distributed over the
Internet, communicate among themselves using text-chat.
Text-chat is a slow communication process, which distracts the
users from their main task in the VR environment. The primary
goal of this paper is to describe a project that focused on the
creation of an interface that allows voice communication among
VR users. The resulting interface from this project allows
anyone using a VR Environment over the Internet to logon to a
voice communications server from anywhere in the world. The
users are able to communicate without having to install new
software on their computer. This type of communication is
expected to foster people’s abilities to share their ideas and
solutions to problems in research, education, and/or
professional environments anywhere on earth where there’s a
computer with Internet access.
