CREATING AND MANAGING VIRTUAL AREAS

摘要

Systems and methods of managing communications in a virtual area are described. Examples of the systems and methods provide services for creating highly customizable virtual area applications that support realtime virtual area communications. In some examples, these services manage communications between network nodes that are linked to a virtual area according to rules embodied in a virtual area application defining the virtual area. Examples of the systems and methods provide a generic framework for transforming a designer's specification of a virtual area into instructions that dynamically configure service functionality for acting on messages that are received from network nodes in connection with the virtual area.
