At the bottom of the browser window is a frame that allows the user to convey commands and comments to the system. Note the buttons to the right that allow control of frames C & D.

C & D

These are the "projected" frames that makes Worldsmith technology unique among group conferencing systems. While this screen shot show 2 projected frames, it should be noted that it's possible to use as many or as few windows as needed. Also, though the contents of both C & D are graphic images, our projector technology can push any type of data including animations, audio, or video.

And because we use conventional HTML, there is no reason the presentor controlling the projector(s) can't refer to data files that reside on the user's local hard drive or CD-ROM. This creates some exciting possiblities for distance educators and corporate trainers who have large audio or video files, but whose students are using via dial-up connections.
