International Initiatives

Inria Silicon Valley allowed us to expand the scope of our work with Stanford and U.C. San Diego to include U.C. Berkeley (see below). Daniel Strazzula, a Master's student, was accepted as a Ph.D. student (Cordi grant), and Lora Oehlberg, a Ph.D. student, was accepted as a Post-Doc (Cordi Inria Silicon Valley) at InSitu. Members of InSitu went to Stanford and Berkeley for several week-long visits during the year. Volunteers from Berkeley, Stanford and U.C. San Diego were actively involved in the creation technology to support the CHI'13 conference in Paris, including the Interactive Schedule ([29] ), author-sourcing  [35] ; the Video Previews, and the use of HydraScope to create CHIWall, for collaborative scheduling of the CHI'13 conference.

In the context of the 22m€ Digiscope project in France and corresponding projects at UCSD and Berkeley, we continued to work on BayScope, a strategy for creating novel applications for wall-size display and multisurface environments, by aggregating existing or new web-based applications. Prof. Bjoern Hartmann obtained support for this collaboration (NSF grant) that he secured for our collaboration. We developed HydraScope ([24] ), a framework for transforming existing web applications into meta-applications that execute and synchronize multiple copies of applications in parallel, with a multi-user input layer for interacting with it, which was validated with five meta-applications.
