virtual collaborative environments with distributed multitouch support
In this paper, we present a new application framework aimed to support distributed synchronous collaboration using multitouch interaction. The framework supports 2D and 3D virtual workspaces that enable two or more users to collaboratively or cooperatively manipulate shared objects with multitouch interfaces. We present two applications developed with the aim to explore 2D/3D immersive collaborative environments with multitouch interaction. We also present our experience and preliminary results in designing, developing and integrating these applications on educational settings.
