Design and implementation of an educational rich internet web application capable of physics simulation within real-time collaborative interfaces

[摘要] (cont.) Multiple users can connect to a client-server network in order to communicate and interact over multiple browsers running the same simulation. The application allowed for one user to click and move an object, while other users could watch the movement of said object in real-time within their own browser. Results of the design and implementation of this program showed that creating an educational program that can be used in a network setting and allow for real-time collaboration to be possible. Improvements must be made, however, in information processing between connected platforms, time delays due to these processes, and problems arising for atypical user movements and interactions.
