                         Reality Environments (CVREs) out of existing implementations, and 
                         derive a novel component framework for transforming standalone VR 
                         tools into full-fledged multithreaded collaborative environments. 
                         The contributions of our approach rely on cost-effective 
                         techniques for loading graphics rendering, user interaction and 
                         network communications software components into separate threads, 
                         with a top thread for session collaboration. The framework recasts 
                         VR tools under a scalable peer-topeer topology for scene sharing, 
                         callback hooks for event broadcasting and multicamera perspectives 
                         of avatar interaction. We validate the framework by applying it to 
                         our own ALICE VR Navigator. Experimental results show good 
                         performance of our approach in the collaborative inspection of 
                         complex models.",
