A networked virtual environment (net-VE) is a software system in which multiple
users interact with each other in real-time, even though those users may be
physically located around the world.
Typically, each user accesses his/her own computer workstation or console,
using it to provide a user interface to the content of a virtual environment.
These environments usually aim to provide users with a sense of realism by
incorporating realistic 3D graphics, spatial sound & other modalities to
create an immersive experience.
