VideoSpace: A Toolkit for Building Mediaspaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes videoSpace, a software toolkit designed to facilitate the integration of live video into existing or new applications for the purpose of supporting collaborative activities. The first goal of videoSpace is to promote the development of collaborative environments where communi-cation facilities are embedded in the applications rather than provided as separate applications. The second goal of videoSpace is to support novel uses of video, e.g. as input device to interactive systems, by supporting real-time filtering of live video images. This article describes videoSpace, first from a user's perspective by showing the basic building blocks and a sample of applications that were developed with it, then from a developer's perspective by describing it's architecture and functionality.

Chapter 9 WEB - BASED MEDIASPACE
This chapter addresses the use of the Web as a platform for developing mediaspaces; environments that combine audio, video and computing to support distributed groups in their daily tasks. It does not focus on transmission quality, latency, or packet losses. Instead, it shows how Web standards and protocols can be used to create a software infrastructure and user interfaces that offer accessibi...
متن کاملTowards a toolkit for building mediaspaces
Existing studies on mediaspaces have been focused mainly on social or equipment issues. They have shown the importance of flexibility and transparency for people to develop their own patterns of use. In this paper, I present Mediascape, the software infrastructure of our own mediaspace. Then, by looking at the benefits offered by this infrastructure from both a user’s and a developer’s point of...

This paper describes videoSpace, a software toolkit designed to facilitate the integration of image streams into existing or new documents and applications to support new forms of human-computer interaction and collaborative activities. In this perspective, videoSpace is not focused on performance or reliability issues, but rather on the ability to support rapid prototyping and incremental deve...
متن کاملIntegrated video communication with videoSpace
Media spaces were designed to support informal as well as formal communication among remote users. We believe that these systems must be integrated into existing environments in a lightweight way, blending support for collaboration with the user's existing computer environment. This demonstration presents videoSpace, a software toolkit that facilitates the integration of live video into documen...
