The The SPIN Framework allows for 'Spatial Interaction' in a networked system of interactive virtual environments. Tools are provided for high-level layout of 3D content, visualization, and distribution of state over networks. Possible application areas include:

* Immersive Environments / Virtual Reality
* Collaborative 3D authoring and editing
* Telepresence
* Visualization
* Distributed Performance Art
* Online Game / Metaverse Engines

One of the key features of the system is that authoring and editing can be done in real time rather than in an offline process. This allows for collaborative environments where several distributed users can share and interact with a 3D scene. The framework provides generic mechanisms for spatial manipulation, based on geometric events (movement, intersection, incidence, etc.), so a number of interaction paradigms can be deployed.
