Abstract
The issue of the management of information within an
Integrated Computer Environment (ICE) must be addressed
to ensure successful implementation of such environments.
This paper briefly discusses a PC based integrated
environment and highlights a distributed framework for VR
integration with its main project model.
As more applications are integrated more computer resources will be required. In order to improve the performance of the environment, the VR application is made to run on a separate PC from other applications. The two PCs are networked and information between the VR application and the project models can be exchanged over the network. Such approach enables different users at different locations to access the project data. purchase the full-text of this paper (price £20)
