1. A computer based system for training first and second trainees in relation to a work subject, the computer based system comprising:

  • (a) first and second trainee client computers each having a respective display and a rendering module for rendering three dimensional models, the computer based system including a first trainee model distributed into said second trainee client computer corresponding to said first trainee, a second trainee model distributed into said first trainee client computer corresponding to said second trainee, and a work subject model distributed into said first and second trainee client computers corresponding to said work subject, the computer based system being configured to run a plurality of animation routines for each of said first trainee model, said second trainee model, and said work subject model, the first trainee client computer having a user interface for enabling said first trainee to initiate communications controlling animation routines of said first trainee model, the second trainee client computer having a user interface for enabling said second trainee to initiate communications controlling animation routines of said second trainee model, wherein during a simulation run mode said rendering modules of said first and second trainee client computers render on said displays of said first and second trainee client computers at a certain time different perspective first and second first person views of a common scene, the first perspective first person view rendered on said display of said first trainee client computer including a rendering of said work subject model, the second perspective first person view rendered on said display of said second computer including a rendering of said work subject model;

    (b) a central server in communication with each of said trainee client computers, the central server receiving communications from said first and second trainee client computers and sending run animation commands to said first and second trainee client computers responsively to said communications;

    (c) an administrator client computer in communication with said central server, the administrator client computer also having a display and a rendering module for rendering three dimensional models, the administrator client computer having distributed therein said first trainee model, said second trainee model and said work subject model, the rendering module of said administrator client computer rendering said common scene and having a user interface, the computer based system being configured so that by initiating a communication using said user interface of said administrator client computer an administrator can cause, during a simulation run mode, one or more of the following;

    (i) a certain animation routine for the work subject model to be run;

    (ii) a certain texture for the work subject model to be rendered;

    (iii) a change in a user interface one of said trainee client computers; and

    (iv) a model change of said work subject model.
