1 | There is a web-based DIS project at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) at Monterey, CA, led by Don Brutzman who is NPS faculty, member of VRML Consortium and Moderator of newly formed dis-java-vrml mailing list. |
2 | The goal of the project is to explore Java for DIS protocol implementation and networking, VRML2 for visualization of the simulated virtual DIS worlds, and Web browsers for the GUI packaging and integration. |
3 | The current NPS experiment uses exclusively Java, VRML and HTML to implement a proof-of-the-concept demo. In a more complete Web DIS, the actual simulation engines will be likely provided by the optimized legacy codes, suitably interfaced to Java based communication and VRML based rendering. |
