Abstract

The Shared Desktop Media Item is an awareness tool that uses screen sharing to provide a distributed group with mutual awareness of artifacts and individual work. People see others' screens in miniature at the edge of their display, can selectively raise a larger view of that screen to get more detail, a the easy awareness of the documents, objects, and tools that other people are using nd can engage in remote pointing if desired. Through such ‘artifact awareness', members of a distributed group can stay aware of what others are doing, monitor progress and coordinate joint tasks, determine when another person can be interrupted, and engage in serendipitous conversation and collaboration. ‘Privacy' controls are included to limit what others can see.
