Editing Verse protocol

'''Verse''' is a [[Computer network|networking]] [[Protocol (computing)|protocol]] allowing real-time communication between [[computer graphics]] software.  For example, several [[architect]]s can build a house in the same virtual environment using their own computers, even if they are using different software.  If one architect builds a spiral staircase, it instantly appears on the screens of all other users.  Verse is designed to use the capacity of one or multiple computers over the [[Internet]]: for example, allowing a user with a [[hand-held computer]] in [[Spain]] to work with the rendering power of a [[supercomputer]] in [[Japan]]. Its principles are very general, allowing its use in contexts that are advantageous to collaboration such as gaming and visual presentations.

== Uni-Verse ==
The Swedish [[Royal Institute of Technology]] (KTH), with several collaborators including the [[Interactive Institute]], set up an [[European Union|EU]] project called '''Uni-Verse'''. The EU Commission granted them nearly SEK 18 million over the next several years to develop a system for graphics, sound, and acoustics using Verse and making it into an [[open source]] platform.
