ICAME

ICAME refers to the Interactive Collaboration and Multimedia Environment. It is a research project and software platform developed to support collaborative work through rich multimedia communication. The primary goal of ICAME is to enable more natural and effective interaction among users, regardless of their physical location.

The system integrates various communication channels, including real-time audio and video, text chat, and shared whiteboards. It also provides tools for document sharing and collaborative editing, aiming to replicate the benefits of face-to-face meetings in a virtual setting. ICAME's architecture is designed to be flexible and extensible, allowing for the integration of new multimedia services and collaboration tools.

Research associated with ICAME has focused on understanding user behavior in collaborative environments and developing adaptive interfaces that respond to changing communication needs. The project explores how different media types influence communication effectiveness and how to optimize the delivery of multimedia streams for a seamless user experience. Through its development, ICAME has contributed to the broader understanding of human-computer interaction in the context of computer-supported cooperative work.
