ACCESSFABRIK - Researching and Developing New Tools for Collaborative Design and Communication

Abstract

Through a review of literature and experimentation with enabling technologies, it was concluded that the Access Grid (an open-source, videoconferencing platform) held significant potential to facilitate the sharing of audiovisual material in the area of collaborative industrial design; however, it would have to be extended to allow for high-definition visualization and remote desktop control. As a result, researchers in Canada and Germany developed new tools to accomplish this, and utilized them to remotely manipulate industrial designs in real-time and with very low latency. Additionally, automated captioning and translation services were developed to better facilitate cross-cultural business-to-business collaboration. Future research directions for this project involve the continued prototyping of these tools, leading either to their deployment within industry or further improvement within the Access Grid Community.
