It describes functionality that can be usedfor generating and displaying a Virtual Environment (VE) on varied VR platforms.This is enhanced to provide collaboration support through additional modulessuch as networking. Two existing VR applications which make use of thesetools are described. Both were developed effortlessly over a short periodof time, and demonstrate the power of these tools for implementing a diverserange of applications.}, url = {www.springerlink.com/index/J3X0M7AKP3QW3RBF.pdf} }
