MUGIC Protocol (Multi-User Graphics with Interactive Control)
MUGIC defines a standard displayindependent client/server model for the generation, control, and management of graphics rendering within a multiuser environment to targeted specifically for tiled displays and virtual reality systems. This protocol will provide ease of access and an integrated development environment for research, education, performance, interaction, and presentations. It will provide an easily accessible format for integration of realtime programming softwares (e.g., Touch Designer, Pure Data, Max/MSP, etc.) which in turn will facilitate the incorporation of gesture control and algorithmic/generative processes for control of graphics on multiple displays using the user’s own environment. We also plan to provide multiuser management and access support, as well as realtime telematic connection between multiple servers.
The definition of the protocol and the current state of the development can be seen at http://ivl.calit2.net/wiki/index.php/Mugic/protocol
The use of an early stages of the protocol can be seen below:
