Virtual Crowd Interactive Applications
This thesis explores virtual crowd interactive applications: applications where large numbers of physically distributed people (tens of thousands) interact as a unified crowd. The purpose is to drive what social psychology identifies as the collective experience, a sense of: unity with many others; …

An Information-Theoretic Framework for Consistency Maintenance in Distributed Interactive Applications
Distributed Interactive Applications (DIAs) enable geographically dispersed users to interact with each other in a virtual environment. A key factor to the success of a DIA is the maintenance of a consistent view of the shared virtual world for all the participants. However, maintaining consistent …

Development of a Physics-Aware Dead Reckoning Mechanism for Distributed Interactive Applications
Distributed Interactive Applications (DIAs) are a class of software that allow geographically remote users to interact within a shared virtual environment. Many DIAs seek to present a rich and realistic virtual world to users, both on a visual and behavioural level. A relatively recent addition to …
