Project Shastra: Multimedia Services

 

SHA-TALK
is a text communication tool which supports synchronous n-way textual conversations. It is useful for designers who do not have multimedia communication facilities on the desktop.
SHA-DRAW
is a sketching tool, which facilitates the generation and display of simple 2-D pictures, using a rich set of primitive operations. A collaborative session consisting of Sha-Draw applications lets a group of collaborators synchronously create and edit simple 2-D sketches on shared whiteboards.
SHA-POLY
is a collaborative visualization and graphical-object browsing and manipulation tool. It supports shared viewing of 3-D models using different display and visualization techniques in a synchronously conferenced setting.
SHA-PHONE
service is used to record and playback audio information stored in multimedia objects. An n-way audio conference is conducted by setting up a collaborative session consisting of Sha-Phone instances.
SHA-VIDEO
handles image data (without sound) -- both still images and motion video. It is used, both directly and by other tools, to playback and record video information stored in multimedia objects. A collaborative session consisting of Sha-Video applications provides the mechanism to conduct a silent video conference.
