摘要
An IntelligentBox is a user-friendly rapid-prototyping software development system for interactive 3D graphics applications. It represents objects as reactive 3D visual objects (called boxes) that can manually be combined with other boxes. A RoomBox is a particular box provided for constructing distributed 3D graphics applications. Multiple RoomBoxes on different computers share specific user-operation events with each other and virtually provide some users with a shared 3D space. Already developed boxes work in a shared 3D space without any modifications. Therefore, it is possible to construct distributed 3D graphics applications without creating any programs.
