The November Townhall is scheduled for Tuesday, November 1, at 10:00AM CST (16:00 UTC). It will be held in the Argonne National Laboratory venue on the institutional venue server (Go to https://ivs.mcs.anl.gov:9000/Venues/default, then Government Institutions Lobby, then Argonne National Lab).
Invited Speaker: Robert Putnam, Boston University Positional Audio and Window Highlighting for the Access Grid Boston University has developed a system to help users determine which Access Grid participant is speaking at a given time. In the current test system, when the amplitude of a site's audio rises above a minimum threshold, the video windows from that site are highlighted by a color outline, and the audio is positioned in the stereo field at the same relative location as the last-moved video window. Robert will discuss the [sometimes tortuous] development of the system, its current implementation, and the prospects for inclusion in the AGtk. There will be a second session held for those in the Asia-Pacific region, at 6:00PM CST (Wednesday, 00:00 UTC). Of course, anyone is welcome to attend this session, if it's more agreeable with their schedules. ANL will be running bridges in the Argonne venue for this meeting.
