Booth connectivity to STAR TAP℠ via the vBNS enabled participating researchers to interact with colleagues worldwide in order to demonstrate a variety of applications - manufacturing, health care, education, environmental studies, and computational science and engineering - which utilize such technological advancements as distributed computing, tele-immersion, large datasets, remote instrumentation, and collaboration. EVL demonstrated CAVERNsoft Tele-Immersive Collaborations between Singapore, Australia, Japan, and the United States through the iGrid.
