1 It is essential that collaborative technologies support all users independent of their hardware and physical capabilities
2 Hardware issues are essentially illustrated by palmtop to CAVE example on previous foil
3 Suppose we wish to teach a class where some students and/or teachers have impaired sight and hearing.
4 Then we need to share same object content but render it differently on each client.
