Welcome to the home page for the Collaborative Visualization Research Project (COVISA). This was a 2 year EPSRC funded project under the ROPA initiative to investigate the requirements for collaborative visualization. Our industrial collaborator on this project has been NAG Ltd, and much of the work has been built on top of their Modular Visualization Environment (MVE) IRIS Explorer 3.0.
We have spent some time looking at different user models and different scenarios of collaborative visualization and to that end have built a set of tools to explore and enable these scenarios. These tools take the form of a set of modules for IRIS Explorer plus a central server to distribute the shared information. The current set of modules allow any number of participants to join and leave a session as it progresses, no floor control policy is enforced allowing a "free for all" session.
