    abstract     = "This thesis document represents the architecture and implementation of a distributed virtual environment application - TerraPeer.

The idea of this project is to design an interface to a multi-user virtual space,which runs on an absolute decentralized,server-independent network.The application is built with specific technological choices, including a user interface framework on top of the Java3D {API,} the {JXTA} peer-to-peer platform, and a {XML-}based protocol.

By examining existing systems and current research in relation to three- dimensional virtual reality and distributed networks, this project aims to assemble the various parts that are required to create such an interface.

In Danish:

Dette eksamensprojekt dokument repr{\ae}senterer arkitekturen og implementeringen af en distribueret virtuel verden applikation - TerraPeer.

Ideen bag projektet er at udvikle et system til et fler-brugers virtuelt rum, som indrettes i et server-uafh{\ae}ngigt netv{\ae}rk.TerraPeer er konstrueret med specifikke teknologiske valg, s{\aa}som et gr{\ae}nseflade framework der ligger i toppen af Java3D {API}`en, peer-to-peer platformen {JXTA} og et {XML-}baseret protokol.

Ved at unders{\o}ge eksisterende prototyper og relevante forskningsomr{\aa}der i relation til tre- dimensionale virtuelle verdener og distribuerede netv{\ae}rk, er det projektets m{\aa}l at samle e forskellige dele der er kr{\ae}vet for at bygge et brugervenligt system."
