Hi,
I'm not sure if you are aware of our (memetic's) application ScreenStreamer. This is capable of sending your screen as a JPEG video stream. The url for this is at: http://www.memetic-vre.net/software/ScreenStreamer Andrew :) ============================================ Access Grid Support Centre, RSS Group, Manchester Computing, Kilburn Building, University of Manchester, Oxford Road, Manchester, M13 9PL, UK Tel: +44(0)161-275 0685 Email: andrew.row...@manchester.ac.uk _____ From: owner-ag-t...@mcs.anl.gov [mailto:owner-ag-t...@mcs.anl.gov] On Behalf Of Zhang, Kai (NIH/NLM/LHC) [C] Sent: 20 July 2005 16:00 To: 'ag-t...@mcs.anl.gov' Subject: [AG-TECH] How to show mouse/keyboard actions for shared applications on AG? Hi, there, Does anyone have some idea of how to show mouse/keyboard actions dynamically for shared applications on AG? For example, with shared browser, users in same session can see the same new web page when one user click a link or key in a new url, but others can not see the process of mouse movement/key input of that user on their screen. This feature is important for us to have. We are thinking about three possible solutions: 1. screen capturing/streaming: disadvantage: no interaction between users, low refresh rate 2. Using mouse/keyboard events from low level: disadvantage: problem with passing events to application after events being intercepted by the "shared application" wrapper of the app. 3. A framework like MS Netmeeting on AG for sharing applications securely: disadvantage: requires much time and effort Can anyone give some suggestion on the problem of the second solution? We'd like to know any other possible quick solutions and ideal solutions for solving this mouse/keyboard tracing/showing problem for shared app on AG. Thanks, Kai
