Verse

[Apollux]

Draw a picture on the computer and it immediately shows up on the screen of a hand-held computer in Africa. The person with the palm computer can then use the tiny screen to access a supercomputer in France to perform advanced graphic calculations that a number of logged-on people can see simultaneously. This solution is called Verse, a new protocol for 3D graphics

As officially announced today, the European committee has granted 1.9 Million euro funding to Uni-verse. This three year cooperation project around Verse, a 3d network protocol, intends to develop a networked open source 3D platform; which includes collaborative tools, 3d rendering systems and acoustics simulation.

Why do Africans and French scientists want to see what I'm drawing?

For example, two or more architects can simultaneously sit and construct in the same environment from their respective computers, even using different programs. If one of the architects designs a new staircase, it instantly appears on the screens the others are looking at.
That is damm cool.

It will be of use in collaborative projects. Two teams working in distant areas sorta thing....

Also, i'd use for teaching 3d animation to students in africa, french or any palce....

there are many other uses too...

:rolleyes:
