ConferenceXP

Microsoft Research ConferenceXP

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.

Explore this site to learn more about ConferenceXP and join the community of ConferenceXP developers and researchers.
