Features: A network virtual environment (net-VE) that combines virtual reality and network communication technology is a computer system capable of creating and experiencing virtual worlds. In this system, multiple users located in different physical locations interact in real-time and share information through the network. In recent years, network virtual environment systems have been rapidly developing and have become one of the hot topics in the field of information technology research. This book explores the technologies for implementing net-VE and other related subjects, including the origin and challenges of net-VE, network technologies for implementing net-VE, communication technologies, dynamic shared state management, system design of net-VE, scalability, performance optimization, and more. The book also includes numerous examples, which serve as the foundation for understanding these technologies. With a well-structured and comprehensive content, this book is suitable as a textbook and reference book for senior undergraduate and graduate students in computer science and related fields, as well as a reference for professionals in related areas.
