The Virtual Rooms Videoconferencing Service (VRVS) provides a worldwide videoconferencing service and collaborative environment to the research and education communities. This system provides a low cost, bandwidth-efficient, extensible means for videoconferencing and remote collaboration over networks within the High Energy and Nuclear Physics communities (HENP). VRVS has become a standard part of the toolset used daily by a large sector of HENP, and it is used increasingly for other DoE/NSF-supported programs. The current features included multi-protocol, multi-OS support for all significant video enabled clients including: H.323, Mbone, QuickTime, MPEG2, Java Media Framework, and other clients. The current architecture makes VRVS a distributed, highly functional, and efficient software-only system for multipoint audio, video and web conferencing and collaboration over global IP networks. VRVS has developed the VRVS-AG Reflector and a specialized Web interface that enables end users to connect to any Access Grid (AG) session, in any of the AG "virtual venues" from anywhere worldwide. The VRVS system has now been running for the last five and half years, offering to the HENP community a working and reliable tool for collaboration within groups and among physicists dispersed world-wide. The goal of this ongoing effort is to develop the next generation collaborative systems running over next generation networks. The new developments area integrate emerging standards, include all security aspects, and will extend the range of VRVS video technologies supported to cover the latest high end standards quality. We will focus the discussion on the new capability provides by the latest version V3.0 and its future evolution.
