Starting from an abstract module based approach for distributed systems we provide a guidance for specifying and designing components for VR-Applications with focus on the communication, administration and visualisation. Finally we have implemented a proof-of-concept for a cab simulator to demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.Categories and Subject Descriptors (according to ACM CCS): I.3.2 [Graphics Systems] Distributed/network graphics, C.2.4 [Distributed Systems] Distributed applications, I.3.7 [Three-Dimensional Graphics and Realism] Virtual reality
