Teleparticipation

A state-of-the-art video-teleconferencing facility (tele-observation and tele-operation) is available that includes a Polycom Viewstation as well as two large Smart Boards that enable projection of computing desktops into a large viewing format. These will be used to display all NEES telepresence client interfaces during any hybrid experiments conducted between the MUST-SIM facility and any other facility on the NEES grid map. A clickable map of the studio can be found here.

Remote Tele-presence

Tests can be observed from remote location using the Remote Data Viewer (RDV). All of the data from the data acquisition system and the control system is available for viewing. Up to four webcams can be used to provide video. The tests can be viewed live during the test period and replayed from archives after completion.
