The vision of cyberspace coined in books such as William Gibson’s “Neuromancer” involves the basic principles of extensibility, openness, and shared 3D-environments. This paper describes a design for an architectural model allowing the construction of multi-user VR applications from flexible modules with the goal to fulfill these demands. First, so-called VR components are designed. Second, a framework is defined in which the VR components can be embedded and into which a multi-user infrastructure is incorporated. Furthermore, an implementation framework for the VR-components and the multiuser infrastructure based on VRML and Java is presented, which we call Vrmlets. An analysis of existing VRML-centric approaches shows that this API based approach is superior with regards to flexibility and scalability. Since the Vrmlets can be implemented on top of any existing software component model (such as COM/DCOM) they are ideal for the use in integrated visual development environments. Therefore, Vrmlets enable a consistent paradigm for the development of visualization applications with complex behavior.
