Abstract :
We present a Remote Multi-touch Collaborative Environment that integrates videoconferencing in an immersive shared space. The proposed solution supports synchronous remote and co-located interactions of two or more users sharing the same virtual workspace. Two applications, that incorporate 2D and 3D shared space, have been developed.
