shows a collaborative visualization session, with both users following a 3D path passing through important points on an oil platform (Fig.15a) and in Fig.15b an annotation is created to some information associated to the selected object (in blue) on the platform. This way a maintenance operation can be defined to train new users or a commission of new equipment can be programmed and visualized.
Observe in the Fig.15 that the Awareness mechanism shows the icons of each user with 2 green lights, one for input and another for output. When changing to a Classroom or Lecture collaborative session the state of the coordinator and all participants change accordingly and also its representative icons on the users tab in the VRV GUI. The coordinator change its state to SendOnly (upper arrow green, lower arrow red) while each participant change its state to ReceiveOnly (upper arrow red, lower arrow green).
