Sandia and HLRS are developing a high-resolution architectural virtual environment in which physically based characters, such as vehicles and dynamic cognitive human avatars, interact in real-time with human participants. Collaborative environments, combined with applications for scientific visualization modeling, multiple-player role-play gaming and mixed reality sessions, enable researchers to view updates to high-resolution datasets as if those datasets were local. The datasets are displayed at multiple locations using both unicast and multicast.
