Project Details
- Bayou Sauvage is a dramatic, entertainment-oriented multi-user virtual world applications.
- Approximately 20 different vendors of hardware, software, and systems contributed to this live demonstration of the Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) protocol used in military simulation training.
- "Over the last decade, this robust Department of Defense-sponsored open standard for networked synthetic environments has been refined to provide a very-large-scale, multi-user platform for military training, video games, and Web-based environments."
