I know some of this is funded, but these are things I think would add a
lot of value.<br>
<ul>
<li>Integration of device control<br>
This should include camera control, but we should pursue more interesting
examples, too, like a microscope.</li>
<li>Eye contact<br>
I'm with Terry on eye contact; the research on how communication is affected
is important to consider, but in a practical sense, the requirements of simulating
collocated conversation seem pretty clear, making it a logistical problem
that we can solve.</li>
<li>Layout<br>
Important in its own right, but necessary for associating windows with cameras
to support eye contact</li>
<li>Identification of speaker (voice-switched video)<br>
I don't know how we've gotten by for so long without this<br>
</li>
<li>Access to compute resources<br>
This would strengthen our position as the "user interface to the grid".
This applies directly to community database resources (such as what's used
by a virtual observatory, or--I imagine--SWOF).</li>
</ul>

<pre wrap="">I would like a list of five things from each of you that the AG could use
(software and hardware) and that we are currently not funded for or
currently planning. Think of this as a side project, spend some time
thinking about it on the drive home. Try to make them somewhat practical
(that's why Mark is on the cc line and not the to one) Try to get me ideas
in the next week or so.
Thanks
