Figure 8 shows another collaborative visualization session, with a
different set of risers. The picture shows a 3D annotation created
automatically, and another annotation created by one of the users,
making comments about an element in the upper riser.
As can be seen, in the users tab the awareness mechanism shows
information about the status of the user (online, offline) and
his/her role in the session (coordinator or participant). Figure 9
shows an engineering project where the users want to study the
movement of a buoyant, used to reduce the stress on the risers.
Using a buoyant, the movement of the platform hull can be decoupled
from the movement of the riser system. The users are
monitoring the distance between the buoyant and the platform,
and are observing the behavior of some force on the risers.
