Abstract
Efficiency and timeliness of collaborative communication among geographically distributed design teams are vital to collaborative product design for synchronous exchange of product design information and faster product availability. This paper introduces a preliminary research work about P2P&VRML-based collaborative communication environment that attempts to support synchronous collaborative product design in the way of WYSIWIS (What You See Is What I see). A prototype with communication means of document co-sharing & editing, draft co-drawing, instant message and VRML-based visualization space is developed on the basis of JXTA platform. Collaborative model modification is performed by cooperation between document co-editing space and VRML visualization.
