Development of Cooperative Viewer System Technology Running on the Scalable High-Resolution Tiled Display System

A tiled display can present a high resolution image or real-sized 3D objects. It can be used fot effective collaboration by allowing multiple users to allocate their own spaces, which are used privately or shared with others. In this research, a collaborative viewer system, which allows manipulating 3D models, images and movie clips, was constructed on a distributed platform. This allows multiple users to manipulate different contents separately with various input devices. This paper describes an architecture and a prototype system built with the viewer.
