Method and system for computer-mediated, multi-modal, asynchronous meetings in a virtual space

摘要: A computer-supported collaborative work environment allows for computer-mediated, multi-modal, asynchronous meetings in a virtual space that enables, recording, reviewing and augmenting take place the environment. Meeting participants interact via avatars, i.e., graphical representations of participants, place-based, multi-dimensional sessions are captured future replay augmentation multi-modal document. The system utilizes multiple "tracks" document, such as text discussion, audio commands, graphics, documents, which combined into document to preserve recording meeting participants. this can then be replayed augmented by ad infinitum create single, synchronous meeting. Furthermore, using avatars enables straightforward method generating composite screens sessions, alleviates privacy concerns users.
