Tele-Collaboration will enable users in different locations to collaborate in a shared, simulated environment as if they were in the same physical room. It’s the ultimate synthesis of networking and media technologies to enhance collaborative environments. When participants are Tele-Collaborated, they are able to interact with each other in a shared virtual environment. They are able to query and visualize data stores and steer complex scientific and engineering simulations. This article investigated the transcoding intermediaries required to achieve an effective telecollaboration on the Web as well as on P2P/Grid environments. Both Scene Graphs as used by the virtual SceneBeans and the SVG DOM tree are found to be essential for the transcoding purpose.
