The demonstration involves the digital reconstruction of the Salk Institute in La Jolla, California. VDS assembles a collaborative work environment by incorporating variable and heterogeneous digital landscapes of maps and survey data, orthographic CAD drawings, photographs, 3D non-contact imaging data (such as laser scanning and photogrammetry), 3D models, and other digital imaging and visualization techniques. Advanced networks, UCLP and high-definition video teleconferencing enable effective computer-supported collaborative work. This application is part of the iGrid demo “World’s First Demonstration of X GRID Application Switching using User Controlled LightPaths.” Additional resources are provided by Cisco Canada Inc, Canada’s Alias Systems, IBM Canada, Pleora Technologies and Japan’s National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NiCT) / Tokyo Electron Limited. |
