Abstract

GroupWeb is a prototype browser that allows group members to visually share and navigate World Wide Web page in real time. Its groupware features include document and view slaving for synchronizing information sharing, telepointers for enacting gestures, and relaxed “what you see is what I see” views to handle display differences. A groupware text editor lets groups create and attach annotations to pages. An immediate application of GroupWeb is as a presentation tool for real time distance education and conferencing. The video illustrates GroupWeb and all its features.
