Co-CreativePen Toolkit: A Pen-based 3D Toolkit for Children Cooperatly Designing Virtual Environment

Co-CreativePen toolkit is a pen-based 3D toolkit for children cooperatively designing virtual environment. This toolkit is used to construct different applications involved with distributed pen-based 3D interaction. In this toolkit, sketch method is encapsulated as kinds of interaction techniques. Children can use pen to construct 3D and IBR objects, to navigate in the virtual world, to select and manipulate virtual objects, and to communicate with other children. Children can use pen to select other children in the virtual world, and use pen to write message to children selected. The distributed architecture of Co-CreativePen toolkit is based on the CORBA. A common scene graph is managed in the server with several copies of this graph are managed in every client. Every changes of the scene graph in client will cause the change in the server and other client
