Some VRML applications require concurrent interaction by multiple users in a real-time distributed fashion. Such applications need a method for users to share and update the VRML objects in real-time. To allow concurrent shared real-time access, our approach is to store the VRML objects in an object-oriented database system (ObjectStore). In this paper, we present an architecture that allows multiple users to interact in a non-trivial way in such a shared VRML environment. We outline how the VRML world can be saved in ObjectStore. }, }
