This paper is devoted to the problem of distributed virtual reality (DVR) systems design which is important and relevant at the present time. An approach based on the creating of a specialized middleware allowing to simplify and at the same time to accelerate DVR system development is proposed. In the second part of paper mechanisms to ensure data consistency in the proposed software architecture are considered. In addition the main features and implementation details of the TerraNet middleware are examined.

Keywords: distributed virtual reality systems, data consistency, distributed simulation, 3D interactive computer graphics and computer networks
