RESUMO

Virtual Reality applications immerge the user in a simulated virtual environment entitled Virtual Environment that is an intensive process which can be drastically limited if restricted to a single computer. It is possible to enlarge the size and reach of these systems through distribution to allow multiple users to Interact among themselves and with the environment. These virtual environments are known as Distributed Virtual Environments. Their construction is a complex task, mainly when aspects such as communication structuring at the process level, scalability, interoperability and reuse of their components are taken into consideration. Such aspects are also emphasized through Distributed Objects Technology, being CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) currently the biggest representative. Thus, in this context, this thesis presents a study and methodology for the construction of Distributed Virtual Environments which utilize CORBA architecture as a high-level structure for the communication and synchronization among their objects. Last but not least, the aim of this thesis was also to present theoretical and practical elements of this approach, by implementing three prototypes, which formed a comparative basis to study the viability of the ideas hereby used.
