Hi Carlos;
First, look at http://www.crc.ca/FreeWRL/ for a linux based browser. If
you use it with VNET, make sure you select "tinman" as your avatar. Some
of
the built in avatars have problems, and FreeWRL doesn't handle avatar
problems as nicely as Cosmoplayer does.
My problem was with the rate of eventouts for position changes. Lets
say,
on my really fast computer, with hardware accelleration, that I can make
70 position moves per second, which corresponds to 140 EAI messages per
second. (position and orientation - two different EAI messages)
So, then, we have 140 messages being sent to a browser on another
machine
that can, (for example) either through network delays or machine speed,
handle 10 per second.
That means that one second of my move, takes 14 seconds to make the same
move
on the other machine.
If we could throttle down the rate of sending EAI messages to, say, 10
per
second, that makes up to 20 messages (pos and orient again) per second;
the
other machine would now take 2 seconds to show this move, not 14.
Big difference!
When testing my implementation, I would go to another lab, do some moves
with one browser, walk back to my lab, and see the tail end of my moves.
I have managed to speed things up considerably, btw, by implementing two
things in my eai code, so now my browser is able to handle things well.
But, the network problem still exists.
Cheers;
John Stewart
