Foil 109 Televirtual Collaborative Environment in Crisis 2005

From IBM Tutorial on Web Technology for HPCC IBM Poughkeepsie -- February 7 1996. by Geoffrey Fox * See also color IMAGE

Luke benefits from the natural convenient interface maximizing the effectiveness of the tired harried judgment maker. This build on advanced MOO and VR ideas and tailors the computer interface to the problem at hand.
Luke sees a three dimensional GIS (Geographical Information System) when viewing the spatial confusion of the catastrophe; a virtual podium when he briefs cyberworld; a boardroom when defending his actions to angry foreign politicians; a summer wildflower meadow in moments of thought.
He shares this virtual environment with Jane who is in charge of tactical operations for the crisis and by his electronic side at all times.
They share this televirtual environment with other judgment makers and those facing the crisis in the field.
Whether supported by supercomputer or hand held personal assistant, all access the same WebTop environment with a full range of collaboration and productivity tools whose capability adjusts to the available compute and communication resource.
In this way the GII enables the best adaptive linking of "come-as-you-are" computational, communication and personnel resources.
