Abstract

Herein, we propose a web-based tiled display wall (TDW) system that is capable of supporting collaborative activities among multiple remote sites. Known as the Cooperative Workspace Driver (ChOWDER), this system introduces the virtual display area (VDA) concept as a method for handling various display configuration environments with different physical resolutions and aspect ratios. This concept, which is one of ChOWDER's key features, allows ad hoc participation among multiple sites to facilitate remote collaboration and cooperative work.
