I wish to set up an inexpensive, experimental COLAB STUDIO.
Initially for two persons with two input interfaces into the same (or
synchronized) computer systems: two keyboards, two mice and/or
pen/pads, two cam recorders for audio/video. Two (or more) monitors
which can be synchronized, or independent.
Two cursors, so both can simultaneously work on the same file. Rapid
alternating OK.
AV recording linked to work being done on monitor ? later, clicking
would bring up appropriate AV segment.
Instant replay of AV with ability to review and branch record
additional material to an earlier point in recording -- would be a
very useful addition.
My objective is the functionality of F2F mutually recorded,
collaborative activity with material viewed and/or manipulated on
monitors.
Two independent systems, synchronized via wireless may be an option.
Having the two systems linked via a common online resource may be
another option. It may be that existing systems for virtual
collaboration online, but used by two systems in the same room, would
be the easiest way. However, I would prefer a system that could work
when not online.
Focus of collaborative activity could be either:
1) the AV recorded F2F dialog is primary, where they reference (and
may annotate) material on monitor.
2) the collaborative creation of semiotic structures on the monitor is
primary, with associated AV recorded commentary during the work.
Segments of AV recorded dialog could br inserted as integral
components to what is created on the monitor.
My current system is a DELL 8250 with WinXP-Pro, 120GBHD, 512MB RAM,
RADEON 9700 PRO. I have very limited knowledge of GROOVE, and have
done some work alone with Microsoft's new OneNote.
My initial objective is to test the process of collaboration with such
a system to determine parameters for the design of a more suitable
system, probably involving more than two persons and probably with
support staff assisting in use of equipment.
Thank you, I have been pleased by previous help from Google:Answer.
