Abstract
The prospect of collaboration among geographically dispersed participants over a networked VR is quite attractive. As a promising technology, Collaborative Virtual Environment (CVE) has already had many experimental applications in the fields of geo-data visualization, collaborative design and scientific exploration. Since navigation performed by groups has its own characteristics that go beyond individual navigation, this paper mainly discusses the characteristics of navigation in CVE, and proposed a process model for collaborative navigation on the basis of individual navigation model.
