A visual server system () includes a visual server () that provides graphics images through execution of a graphics application (). A local terminal () may interact with the graphics application () through a server application () in response to possession of input control. A remote client terminal () may interact with the graphics application () through a session application () in response to possession of the input control. The input control is passed between the local terminal () and the remote client terminal () in order to provide collaboration of a graphics session. The local terminal () and the remote client terminal () receive the same view of the graphics application (). Interactions with the graphics application () performed by either the local terminal () or the remote client terminal () are viewable by the other terminal. Interactions with the graphics application () by either the local terminal () or the remote client terminal () that does not have the input control are blocked.

System and method for providing collaboration of a graphics session

A visual server system () includes a server () having a graphics application (). The graphics application () generates image content and position information. The server () streams the image content and the position information for transport over a network link. A plurality of remote clients () can receive the image content and position information from the server () over the network link. Each of the plurality of remote clients () may provide input parameters to the graphics application (). The input parameters can provide adjustments to the image content and position information provided to each of the plurality of remote clients (). The graphics application () selects from among the input parameters provided by the plurality of remote clients () for adjusting the image content and the position information provided to the remote clients ().
