Abstract

‘MEGAPHONE’ is a pilot multimedia application combining the functions of a video phone with the features of a workstation. It is built upon an object oriented framework that provides workstation-based personal multimedia communication. The video phone functions are fully integrated into the user interface of the workstation used. In addition to the face-to-face meeting mode known from video conference studios, the application offers a shared workspace for discussion, presentation and exchange of digital documents. The integration of telecommunication services with computer conference applications shows useful insights into the architecture of upcoming multimedia applications and their demands on the underlying operating system and network software.
