We describe a prototype that provides distributed, three-dimensional, interactive virtual worlds, which are enhanced with reliable communication and recording of real time events throughout the system. These events correspond to personnel movements in the real world, which are captured from GPS transmissions and are reflected by the movement of 3D human figures within the corresponding synthetic environment in real time.
