Abstract
As a kind of Smart Space, real-time interactive virtual classroom is an important type of remote learning. However, available systems nowadays are not adaptable large-scale user access and cannot accommodate heterogeneous computing devices and different networks access either. Furthermore, these systems are almost desktop-based. The Smart Classroom Project based on pervasive computing mode whose focus is on supporting software infra-structure, context-aware computing, implicit human-computer interaction, interconnection of computing device, etc. tackles the difficulties through these technologies: A hybrid application-layer Multicast protocol, a dedicated software called SameView, an augmented classroom called Smart Classroom, many kinds of learning patterns’ computing technology, interconnection learning via wireless and wired communication protocol technology. So the teacher can instruct the remote students just like face-to-face teaching in a conventional classroom. All these developed technologies has been successfully integrated and demonstrated in a prototype system. The efficiency of our researches has been tested by the demo.
