I know that most Access Grid nodes are installed in meeting rooms, but can I use this technology in other contexts, such as on a workstation, from home, in an office or in a lecture theatre?
When it was invented in 1997, the term “Access Grid” originally referred to a concept that supports effective group-to-group collaboration. This was the reason for incorporation into the Access Grid design of multiple cameras, projectors, microphones, etc., as well as collaborative software.

Below is a brief description of some of the issues that may be encountered when deploying Access Grid outside of the typical meeting room scenario. This FAQ is, of course, no substitute for contacting the AGSC for advice on your particular situation.

What sets Access Grid apart from other collaboration solutions is its focus on human factors (i.e. non-verbal cues, large displays and excellent audio). These factors deteriorate significa
