LiveDeck: Extending Presentations to Support Collaborations

The goal of LiveDeck is to provide support for small, ad hoc meetings. LiveDeck uses slides as the medium for conversation and supports collaborative browsing, synchronous slide edits, and other collaborative features such as note taking. LiveDeck builds upon a web-based ODF renderer, uses Sametime TM 8.5 for communication, and uses the ODF file itself for storage of metadata and distribution of meeting artifacts. In this demonstration, we will show the current state of our prototype. Author Keywords Computer-supported cooperative work, replicated application sharing, synchronous collaboration, comet.
