Vobj

Vobj is a shorthand used in software engineering to denote a virtual object, an abstract representation of an entity within a virtual space such as a simulation, game engine, or VR/AR environment. In programming tutorials and API references, Vobj often serves as a minimal example to illustrate concepts such as encapsulation, state, and behavior.

A typical Vobj has an identity, a set of properties that describe its state, and a set of methods that implement its behavior. It may support serialization for saving and restoring state and commonly participates in a scene graph or object hierarchy. In many architectures, Vobj instances are accessed by handles or references and can be composed of components in a modular design.

Common uses include representing interactive elements, characters, or props in virtual environments, as well as objects in simulations for physics or crowd dynamics. In distributed applications, Vobj can be serialized for transmission to clients, enabling multiple participants to share a consistent view of a scene.

Terminology and exact semantics of Vobj vary by framework. It is often related to terms such as game object, entity, or scene object, especially in component-based or entity-component-system architectures.
