Access Grid"The Access Grid (AG) is the ensemble of resources that can be used to support human interaction across the grid. It consists of multimedia display, presentation and interactions environments, interfaces to grid middleware, interfaces to visualization environments. The Access Grid will support large-scale distributed meetings, collaborative work sessions, seminars, lectures, tutorials and training. The Access Grid design point is group to group communication (thus differentiating it from desktop to desktop based tools that focus on individual communication). The Access Grid environment must enable both formal and informal group interactions. Large-format displays integrated with intelligent or active meeting rooms are a central feature of the Access Grid nodes. Access Grid nodes are "designed spaces" that explicitly contain the high-end audio and visual technology needed to provide a high-quality compelling user experience." from AccessGrid Home The WeSC AccessGrid Our latest AccessGrid room was completed in 2004, thanks to work undertaken by Mike Daley. Since then, we have participated in many collaborative sessions, large and small, with other participants in the UK and abroad. Our room can accommodate up to 20/24 people, and consists of four projectors, four microphones, six cameras, an interactive white-board facility and four machines to drive the audio and video capture machines. You can book your session online now. Some pictures of our room with a live AccessGrid session are below.
Software deployed We support all the current Shared Applications being developed
