CANARIE and Video Conferencing

I’m at the CANARIE Advanced Networks Workshop 2004 today after wrapping up at The Face of Text. I gave a talk about TAPoR – the token humanist at this conference. Most of the talks in my session are about video conferencing over the net and telepresence.
My sense is that “access grids” for shared network meetings are close to being usable. The ViDe Videoconferencing Cookbook was suggested a good starting point if you want to try a virtual meeting.
