VCE Equipment

The VCE has a briefing/meeting corner with various displays:

• Left hand live feeds, movie and inworld images display screen
• Center live feeds, maps and movie video screen (on channel 10)
• Right hand presentation and additional information screen (on channel 11)
• Overhead LED style display (on channel 88)
• Elsewhere in the VCE on separate plots with their own media URLs are a flat collaboration table, 3D model table, YouTube video and Flickr image screens.

The "I-Room Helper" (on channel 9) acts as a conduit to the I-X Web Services. It is active when it is rotating.

The I-Room Helper and creens can be controlled by a member of the "Vue Associates" group so long as that group is set "active".

8-Cell "I-Room" Layout

The Virtual Collaboration Center has a central area, and rooms off at each corner on two floors. This gives 8 immediately visible work spaces into which equipment, screens and furniture can be added. The roof provides further areas for use if needed. The central area and corridor spaces can be accessed from a front door space, a balcony on the first floor, or through an open roof space (which allows easy access from virtual world maps).

The Virtual Collaboration Center is situated on a plot of land which itself is divided into 5 separate areas, which therefore can have their own separate video and audio feeds. The central area has one plot, and there are 4 areas for the 4 corners. It is not currently possible to have separate audio and video feeds for the upstairs and downstairs rooms on these plots.
