MuVR: A Multiuser Virtual Reality Framework for Unity

10 pagesPublished: November 24, 2022

Abstract

Due to the rapidly evolving nature of the Virtual Reality field, many frameworks for multiuser interaction have become outdated, with few (if any) designed to support mixed virtual and non-virtual interactions. We have developed a framework that lays an exten- sible and forward-looking foundation for mixed interactions based upon a novel method of ensuring that inputs, visuals, and networking can all communicate without needing to understand the others’ internals. We tested this framework in the development of several applications and proved that it can easily be adapted to support application requirements it was not originally designed for.
