Conference XP

Haven’t seen advertised, but thought the .Net enthusiasts might enjoy it.  Microsoft Research is working on a Web Conferencing project called ConferenceXP

 

ConferenceXP integrates recent advances in high performance audio, video and network technologies to seamlessly connect multiple distant participants in a rich immersive environment for distance conferencing, instruction and collaboration.  ConferenceXP provides an extensible foundation for interactive collaborative environments, and serves as a research platform for designing and implementing distance conferencing and learning applications.

 

In the pre-bust days, a bunch of friends and I got together to try to create something similar to this, but a low bandwidth version with only Voice Over IP (no video).  It was called ContinuumU and was really cool (and written in .Net).  But it wasn’t to be.  The bust happened, and we lost our VoIP software company (HearMe.com) and all the other VoIP vendors went out of business, too.  So without VoIP, we couldn’t go on, and we didn’t have the time/knowledge to write our own VoIP engine.  I still think long distance learning will take off, but not until the market gets better.

 

Also, I’m working on trying to get the formatting of my blog down.  Seems like the aggregator and my page don’t wind up with the same formatting.

  • Where's Don? Oh, he's gone bloging!





    Nice move!





    XSLT is moving into the mainstream, the first time I ever heard about it was at your talk at NJMSDEV.org. Now if you can just find a way of helping us understand XSLT this blog will prove very useful to thousands of bewildered developers. thanks...!

  • You asked for it, so I'll getting it done. The next .Net blog will be on XSLT. I know exactly what article to use (I had a couple folks ask me about XSLT recently).
