Collaborative Multimedia in SHASTRA

We discuss the application of multimedia in scientific design, and describe a multi-user distributed and collaborative scientific manipulation environment, SHASTRA, implemented on the multimedia desktop. We highlight salient features of the underlying collaboration infrastructure an application conferencing substrate that enables user level cooperation. We demonstrate multimedia interfaces incorporating text, graphics, audio and video, and how these interfaces greatly empower users in the process of collaborative scientific design Table of Contents
