Our DreamSpace allows users to collaborate in a shared space. Virtual adventures and walk-throughs are also more fun and memorable. A user might take another user on a tour of a historic site, a virtual factory, or flying tour of the continents. The interactive communication of complex visual concepts is now as easy as pointing and speaking.
Users can collaborate remotely with users at other workspaces and workstations.
The audio and video inputs can be streamed to a remote location for video conferencing. And DreamSpace knows where a person is, and can send just those pixels. Or, it can send just the upper body or head, and perhaps show the hands only when there are significant movements. The following triptych illustrates the automatic tracking feature. As researcher Athicha Muthitacharoen walks around the room, DreamSpace tracks her outline, and chunks of pixels are cropped and sent to a remote location.
