In simple terms, it is an internet videoconferencing system with several large, high resolution displays and multiple simultaneous camera angles, or views, at each site. Each of the views, including those from the local site, appears in its own window on the large screens. Additionally, data windows from any participants' computers can be integrated into the meeting to display images, movies, presentations, etc.
In more detail, the Access Grid is an integrated presentation environment which supports large-scale collaborations from distributed meetings, seminars, lectures, to tutorials and training. It provides high-quality, real-time audio and video over high speed networks to facilitate group to group communications, both formal and informal, and interfaces with grid middleware and visualization environments. To book our Access Grid node, please contact Distance Education. Requests for actual conferences should go to telepresence@mit.edu.
