Distributed Collaboratory Experimental Environments |
-
Multi-media Archiver -- The archiver is a scalable and network based
system for storing, indexing, and searching multimedia streams: audio,
video, whiteboard, and shared-space communications.
-
Labspace prototype system -- a shared space collaborative environment
-- A text based virtual environment was also made available to users
for collaborative projects.
-
A tele-microscopy system was deployed. Users can access information
about, and images from, the tele-microscope via a Web interface
-
A set of reference desktop collaboration software has been created and
integrated with the archiver and virtual space server. This software
includes a Java and X-based user-interface, brokers, wrappers for the
MBone tools, a MOO-based whiteboard tool, and interfaces for scientific
instruments. These systems are primarily prototypes, and demonstrations
with them have been useful for learning, experimenting, and testing. (A
MOO is an object-oriented, multi-user interaction environment - a
virtual space.)
-
Text-based virtual environment
-
-- This technology allow users to meet with others at virtual
"rooms" and carry active daily discussions of both a work and
social nature.
-
--The space is persisten and archived, allowing users to contribute
objects for others to access. Users who missed a meeting can visit
later and see the full discussion as it occurred and can immediatel
contribute follow-up comments.
-
The Collaborative Research Environment (CORE) tools provide a
cross-platform, multimedia, real-time collaboration suite that includes
a synchronized Web browsing (WebTour),
-
shared computer displays (EMSL TeleViewer), audio/video conferencing,
chat facilities, file and image sharing, and use of an on-line mass
spectrometer.
