Project UNITY: Cross Domain Visualization Collaboration

Abstract

Distributed collaboration research and applications have created the capability for documents, images, whiteboards and computer displays to be shared by one of more collaborants. Commercial offerings from companies like Google, Adobe, Microsoft, IBM, and others offer a simplistic subset of access protocols and sharing methodologies. While these methods work effectively for their purposes, the Department of Defense and their partners have limited capability to use them due to policy and security issues, which are especially stressed during coalition operations. This paper describes visualization collaboration issues and solutions for the forthcoming international experiment, project UNITY. The major difference between traditional Relaxed What You See Is What I See systems available today that provide a separate private workspace is that the UNITY project situates private content in-situ with shared content while ensuring that the operators understand the difference.
