Cavrnus is a collaborative virtual platform that enables users to create, share, and interact within immersive 3D environments (called Spaces), fostering real-time collaboration, communication, and creativity across various industries and use cases.

Spaces

...

You can think of a Space as being conceptually somewhat like a channel in Slack or Discord. A Space primarily contains a Journal, which is a record of all changes that have been made while users are connected.

...

Example: A developer wants to share their Car Configurator project with a customer in real time. They therefore create a Space called “Car Configurator”. Inside their project they then connect to that Space on startup to allow for real-time collaboration.

Voice and Video

...

Upon connecting to a Space, the User will be automatically connected to Cavrnus’s Voice and Video systems. The Application can set which microphone the user should use, and toggle muting, etc.

...

Example: The Car Configurator developer wants their CEO’s face to appear on a giant screen above the vehicle. A script on the screen will simply detect that User, Bind their stream image, and display it.

The Journal

The journal is a database that represents all of the events that have occurred in the history of each space. As users join, navigate, change, and eventually exit a space, all of the changes made to the space are recorded in the journal.

Properties

...

These Journals primarily contain changes to Properties. A Property is simply a piece of data that exists at a well-defined path (referred to as a Container). In order to make a change to a Space a user will Post a change to a Property. In order to show these changes life, clients will Bind changes to a property and display them in the scene.

...

They will then write a script to Bind “CarColor” and display the current value on the vehicle. They will also add a UI button which will Post a new value to “CarColor” when clicked.

Spawned Objects

...

The other thing Journals contain is the ability to Create and Destroy Objects. These Objects are denoted as strings in the Journal and it is up to your Application to specify what that specific string spawns. When spawned, the new Object Instance will be given a Properties Container, which will allow you to modify it.
