In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, by a processor, a first annotation corresponding to one or more markings made by a first user within a first collaboration region of a first surface. The first surface is remote from a second surface. The method also includes identifying, by the processor, a second collaboration region on the second surface. The second surface is proximate a camera. The method also includes displaying, by the processor, the first annotation in the second collaboration region. The method also includes creating, by the processor, a second annotation corresponding to one or more markings made by a second user within the second collaboration region on the second surface. The method also includes transmitting, by the processor, the second annotation.

System and method for utilizing a surface for remote collaboration

A method of setting up communication sessions in a telepresence call including a multiple point-to-point connections between at least two telepresence systems, wherein the information required for setting up the communication sessions is embedded in a control protocol message flow establishing a first communication session between the two telepresence systems.

Video conferencing apparatus and method for configuring a communication session

A video conferencing system provides realistic presence of participants in a videoconference by way of standards-based communication. The system includes three large displays, and at least one slave codec and one camera for each display. In addition, there is an extra codec installed which is the master codec. The master codec is able to establish a conference by instructing the slave codecs at its own site and at the other participating sites to set up point-to-point connections with other slave codecs at different participation sites in a pattern providing an optimal feeling of natural communication so that when a user A talk to user B at another site, user B will experience that the user A turns to him.
