Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable storage medium has instructions executed by a processor to specify a group of collaborators. Each collaborator in the group of collaborators is polled for window information for each window to be shared among the collaborators in a composite window collection. The window information includes end user device attributes for each collaborator and window metadata for each window to be shared among the collaborators in the composite window collection. Required parameters are calculated for each window to be shared among the collaborators in the composite window collection. The required parameters include window visibility criteria in the composite window collection. Sending clients in the group of collaborators are instructed on required parameters for each window to be shared among the collaborators in the composite window collection.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for a virtual communication and collaboration application platform which automates the setup and operation of a virtual collaboration session, senses and reacts to user activity and contextual cues, and provides real-time intuitive interaction steps to enable users to easily interact in a simple and user-friendly manner. The Virtual Collaboration and Computing Platform provides a shared application window visible to multiple users on different displays for which users can easily share multiple types of data and applications through basic drag-and-drop interactions.
