Virtual Parallel

Internet no longer will be single, or it is at least what the International Association of Virtual Reality Technologies (IAVRT) is coming off the announcement। This association has announced that has been working in a new network called Neuronet, which will allow giving support to the Virtual Reality world and Kinematics.

IAVRT already works along with the community that dedicates itself to the world of VR in the creation of a great network that allows to respond in real time the needings of virtual world.

For this new network, it will be developed a series of special languages and a new communication protocol (For instance, two new Domain Names for Neuro Sites:.vr and .cin), Virtual Reality Over Neuronet Protocol (VRONP). With this new protocol it is tried to avoid the risks of security and corruption of the information, being avoided that they are transmitted by (old) Internet.

With Neuronet, a high speed will be obtained that will allow to the transmission of great amount of graphs as well as minimum response times, which is essential in the virtual world. This will quickly affect Video Games which at the present time are being a great successful just like can be The Sims, Everquest or World of Warcraft, or the virtual world of Second Life that every time more is extended between the users.

Although, every time it is increasing the number of virtual worlds created by Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft, not only the world of the Video Games will be affected by this new network, but that companies as Sun or IBM already works in the possibilities that can provide this network for virtual applications of businesses.

Thanks to Neuronet, the practice of virtual experiences between different users (in spite of the distances) will be facilitated beyond simple Chats or Video Calls. The personal games, history, businesses, relations, the education or the medicine will become contributors of possibilities that this network offers.

Before this new possibility, several important challenges appear that there will be to consider because it will be a new architecture to give support to the new network and its requirements of security and confidentiality, or it will appear, or it would have at least to appear, an organism that regulates the standards and protocols of the new network to avoid a total uncontrol and, to stay the requirements established on security and other subjects.

The new network, Neuronet, hopes that it is prepared in 2007 and, in 2009, appears the first applications that will be able for Neuro Users.
