Patent

CA 2338482

A computer network is configured to define and update a shared computer- generated environment. A serving computer divides a computer-generated environment into a plurality of cells (302). A plurality of user computer terminals (402) have display devices (102), storage, processing capability and a connection to the network. A first user computer terminal defines an entry in the computer-generated environment in one or in a plurality of adjoining cells. The network connection receives notification data about other users sharing cells occupied by the first user. A list of users are stored that share or have shared cells occupied by the first user. The processing capability generates a message for another user identified in the list and generates a local representation of the environment in response to data received from other users and in response to user movements. In this way, it is possible for a very large number of users to share a common computer-generated environment using available networking and processing capabilities.
