Interactive Collaborative Environments (ICE): Platform independent X application sharing and multi-media over wide area networks

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10135961

Platform-independent Interaction Collaborative Environments (ICE) technologies include support for simultaneous display and control of unmodified X application software by two or more people, at separate locations, using different workstation hardware. Audio and video provide remote collaborators with the ability to discuss what they are all simultaneously seeing on their workstations. Remote pointing and marking capabilities are also provided independent of the application. The authors briefly describe their X application sharing work, and requirements for supporting tools, including multi-media. Finally they review some of the pilot project network applications of their work to robotics and manufacturing environments.
