- For the front end, the minimal requirements are two clients, one for the teacher and the other one for the student. The client device could be a cellphone, tablets, wearable devices，personal computers, etc. The client collects information from the real world and transfers the data to the backend for calculation. Beyond data transfer and calculation, render is another function running on the front end client-side.
- For the backend, we deploy the backend in two virtual machines in the Cloud.
- To make the VR backend work well, we deploy IEC in the IaaS Layer, Tars framework in PaaS Layer, Virtual Classroom Backend in SaaS Layer.
- To make CI/CD available, we deploy Jenkins Master in one Virtual Machine. The Jenkins master issues command to triger the script run on the dedicated VM.
Tars is a high-performance microservice framework based on name service and Tars protocol, also integrated administration platform. For more information about Tars, refer to the following documents:

IEC (Integrated Edge Cloud) is a platform that will enable new functionalities and business models on the network edge. The benefits of running applications on the network edge are - Better latencies for end users - Less load on network since more data can be processed locally - Fully utilize the computation power of the edge devices. Here IEC Type2 is used as the main working base for IEC Type4 deployment orchestration. For more information about IEC, refer to the following documents:
