1. In a network comprising a plurality of interconnected nodes, a multi-user simulation method comprising the steps of:

  • accessing by a first user and a second user a simulator on a first node in a network;

    sensing a first signal having a first mode from a second node in the network;

    sensing a second signal having a second mode from the second node;

    sensing a third signal having a third mode from a third node in the network;

    sensing a fourth signal having a fourth mode from the third node; and

    executing the simulator according to the first, second, third and fourth signals to generate a simulation output, the simulator using a programmable software model that is network-accessible for multi-sensor and multi-user application, whereby subscriber usage of the software model may be monitored for multi-user licensing transaction, the simulation output being provided to each user of the simulator, the first user being bodily coupled to the second node, and the second user being bodily coupled to the third node, to enable real-time interaction remotely between each user and the simulator through a plurality of sensors that receive physical feedback from the first or second user, wherein the simulator functionally overlays with a video-conferencing application thereby enabling a plurality of users of the simulator to communicate effectively in real-time by exchanging video images of each other, wherein the simulator is accessible effectively when an authorized genetic sequence is identified.
