CAVERNsoft G2: a toolkit for high performance tele-immersive collaboration

ABSTRACT

This paper describes the design and implementation of CAVERNsoft G2, a toolkit for building collaborative virtual reality applications. G2's special emphasis is on providing the tools to support high-performance computing and data intensive systems that are coupled to collaborative, immersive environments.This paper describes G2's broad range of services, and demonstrates how they are currently being used in a collaborative volume visualization application.
