RESUMO

The search for high performance and low cost environments has stimulated the field of computer clusters. Allied to this fact is the increasing interest and the need for Virtual Reality applications. Together, they motivate the research and the development of computer clusters, libraries and of strategies for the development of Virtual Reality applications. This thesis presents an environment for the development of Virtual Reality applications, based on graphic clusters, which are computer clusters tailored for Virtual Reality. This environment was targeted at multi-projection applications, such as those executed in CAVEs (CAVE Automatic Virtual Environment). Several multi-projection applications were developed to test it. Moreover, this thesis presents an overview of the current state of the research in the area; a study of the problems related with the use of graphic clusters; Glass, a software library developed in this project; and strategies for the development of those applications.
