I’ve been spending all of my time over the last few weeks completely rewriting Vrui‘s collaboration infrastructure (VCI from now on), from scratch. VCI is, in a nutshell, the built-in remote collaboration / tele-presence component of my VR toolkit. Or, in other words, a networked multi-player framework. The old VCI was the technology underlying videos such as this one:
