| has gloss | eng: Media spaces are "electronic settings in which groups of people can work together, even when they are not present in the same place and time. In a media space, people can create real-time visual and acoustic environments that span physically separate areas. They can also control the recording, accessing and replaying of images and sounds from those environments." They were the subject of research during the mid- and late-1980's, led by Bob Stults and Steve Harrison, in the Smalltalk group at Xerox Palo Alto Research Center. The research was carried out in the Design and Media Spaces Area of the Software Concepts Laboratory, as part of a larger inquiry into systems and media to support the social process of design. |
