p2pnet - rss feed: First the Net, now the Neuronet
p2pnet.net News:- A Neuronet designed from the ground up will be the world’s first, and only, real-time network designed to transmit virtual reality and next generation gaming data, say its creators, the International Association of Virtual Reality Technologies (IAVRT) group.
Separate from the Net, it’s tentatively slated to go live near the end of 2007.
It’ll facilitate cinematic and immersive virtual reality experiences across distances including, “almost every type of experience imaginable with some of the most obvious being real-time video chat, video streaming, virtual reality travel, history, adventure, gaming, entertainment, sports, hobbies, business, education, medicine and training to name just a few,” states non-profit IAVRT.
Though similar to the Net in its ability to connect individuals in different locations, the architecture of the Neuronet will be distinctly different, says the organization’s site, explaining:
“The entire Neuronet will be hosted on one central server system and then be mirrored to Neuronet metro servers in different geographic locations around the globe. This architecture is required to enable the localized transmission speeds required to facilitate immersive and cinematic virtual reality. The Neuronet will also support real-time peer-to-peer VR and gaming applications.
“A special language or series of languages will be developed for transmitting VR data over the Neuronet, which may be referred to as Virtual Reality Over Neuronet Protocol (VRONP). In order to avoid data corruption and security risks, VRONP data will not be transferred over the Internet.”
Many of IAVRT’s organizational and governance practices will be modeled after the Internet’s governing body, ICANN, but, “there is no association between ICANN and IAVRT, nor will the Internet and Neuronet converge at any point”.
