A Scalable Distributed System for Multi-User Virtual Environments

Abstract

Social information has multidimensional attributes. With the rapid growth of social information, it's harder and harder to organize, manage, and distribute these large scale information under virtual reality environments in traditional ways. This paper introduces the design and implementation of a social information distributed system based on a distributed virtual reality environment. It allows the users to post and receive social information, share photos, articles and videos with friends. The system is scalable, fault tolerant, and is capable of processing large scale data and supporting tens of thousands of online users.
