Abstract
This work uses Virtual Reality and Distributed Systems concepts to develop a low cost Distributed Virtual Environment to visualize and analyze protein molecules called JVRMol. The system has been implemented using Java™ programming language, including Java 3D™ and Java RMI™ APIs, in order to allow geographically disperse researchers to exchange information in a quick and efficient way, speeding up the remote research and discussion. It is also concerned with running over the Internet using common PCs.
