This depends on what you want to do, having two users present in a scene is
fairly straightforward (and you don't really need DIS for this).

Colaborative working environments are an entirely different proposition.
The complexity of having multiple users interracting meaningfully in
a distributed environment shold not be underestimated.

A couple of roving heads in the scene is simple, then the real work begins,
this is where software like dVS & dVISE makes a huge difference.
