Environment to Environment (E2E) Communication Systems for Collaborative Work

E2E is an initiative to harness the power of the World Wide Web (WWW) along with intelligent sensing of environments, to provide effective bi-directional communication which is free from the limitations imposed by devices. Through a sentient information system, automatic selection of the best media streams can be done. Thus, the user need not worry about the location of sensors and presentation devices. Moreover, various forms of interactions can be supported through the capabilities provided by the Web. Hence, apart from point-to-point communication, social networking, virtual meetings, shared collaborative work and asynchronous communication can also be done. The ability to index, archive, retrieve and search event-specific multimedia enhances the versatility of communication. Author
