Open Community (OC) is a proposal of standard for multiuser enabling technologies from Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories. Spline (Scalable Platform for Large Interactive Networked Environments) is an implementation compliant with OC which provides a library with ANSI C and soon Java API. Such library provides very detailed and essential services for real-time multi-user cooperative applications. For its communication, Spline uses the Interactive Sharing Transfer Protocol (ISTP) which is a hybrid protocol supporting many modes of transportation for VR data and information, namely

Spline uses the Interactive Sharing Transfer Protocol (ISTP) which is a hybrid protocol supporting many modes of transportation for VR data and information:

The last two subprotocols are build upon the other three. ISTP does not provide videostreaming capability to date, however such support could be provided by extending ISTP with an extra appropriated subprotocol.
