Abstract

This paper describes the Capture Lab, a computer supported meeting room in use at the EDS Center for Machine Intelligence since late 1987. Most computer supported meeting environments implement a simple hardware approach, where a single computer controlled by a trained technician or facilitator is used, or else adopt a groupware approach, where each user has a personal machine and special-purpose software is used to support group activities. In contrast, the Capture Lab implements a shared hardware approach, in which each meeting participant has a personal computer, but can easily access a shared public computer as well. We discuss the advantages and limitations of this approach, based on our observations of how the room is used, and compare it to the simple hardware and groupware approaches.
