[Topic 2] A 3D Peer-to-Peer Information Sharing System based on Intelligent Characters.

We construct Peer-to-Peer (P2P) BBS system based on a 3D Interface. In this system, each user can create a community and participate in other members' communities. In this system, each user has a BBS system, can make conversation threads, and input any comment to other members' threads.

Further, each peer has a 3D viewer, in which a BBS is represented by "house." In the 3D viewer, we can identify how prosperous the BBS is by looking the number of human figures in a window of the "house". Also, in a house, each conversation thread is represented by a "table".
