ABSTRACT:
A method and system for remote collaboration is disclosed. The method comprises running a remote program on each of a plurality of remote computers coupled to a host computer running a host program that is distinct from the remote program. The host program generates an image that is communicated to the remote programs for output on each of the remote computers' displays. The remote programs each allow the users of the remote computers to independently annotate the image generated by the host computer and output on the remote computers' displays. The remote programs each independently store the image generated by the host program at a first location and store the annotations to the image at a second location separate from the first location. The remote programs each communicate with the host program to cause the selective replication of the annotations at others of the remote computers.
