ConferenceXP is an initiative of Microsoft Research. We’re exploring how to make
advanced collaboration, multi-institutional instruction and distance learning a compelling, rich experience
by assuming the availability of emerging and enabling technologies, such as high-bandwidth
networks, high resolution displays, Tablet PCs, and the advanced features in
Microsoft® Windows® XP and Windows® Vista.
The ConferenceXP research platform enables researchers and developers to create
distributed applications that take advantage of ConferenceXP technology as well
as Tablet PCs and wireless networks. It also enables them to develop the collaborative
tools and applications they need without having to build them from the ground up.
By partnering with research organizations and universities, the ConferenceXP project
combines the academic community’s expertise in the learning sciences with Microsoft’s
expertise in technology.
