Abstract:
An application sharing and collaboration (ASC) system comprising a first computer, where the first computer is configured to execute a graphics application. The graphics application is configured to: (a) call a set of OpenGL rendering functions to render an image into a local buffer, and (b) call a particular OpenGL function which has been modified to induce compression of the image from the local buffer and transfer of the compressed image to a set of one or more remote systems. Each of the one or more remote systems may be configured to: decompress the compressed image, and display the decompressed image.
