Qwaq
Welcome to Qwaq Forums
Like offices and meeting rooms, Qwaq Forums are places where users can go to work, to collaborate with others, and to identify and solve issues. Whether you are working internally with other team members and groups, or need to collaborate with supply chain partners or customers, Qwaq Forums have powerful features that simplify setting up and working in highly collaborative environments.
Drag-and-drop content. Content is easily made available to users; simply drag and drop content from your local folders or desktop into Qwaq Forums and it will be automatically uploaded and made available to other users. Share information contained in corporate applications or desktop applications such as Adobe® PDF documents, Microsoft® Word, PowerPoint, and Excel files, images, and even 3-D content by dragging files from local or network folders and dropping into a Qwaq Forums virtual workspace.
Immediate interactivity. Using Qwaq Multi-Share™, multiple users can edit content together within a virtual space. All participants see edits in real-time. Once a work item is completed, content can be saved to your local desktop or folders for further processing.
Always available. Qwaq Forums are available all the time. Participants can work with others in real time or go to a Qwaq Forum at any other time and see the changes made by other team members since you were there last.
Highly immersive. Unlike traditional 2-D collaboration environments, Qwaq Forums' 3-D environment provides strong feedback that enhances teamwork and communication. Using avatars and unique "laser pointer" controls, participants can easily see where people are, what they are looking at, what content they are editing, and how they are using applications. In combination with Qwaq Forums' built-in high fidelity VoIP and text chat, users have a highly immersive environment and important social cues that help them learn and work more effectively.
Persistence. The virtual spaces in Qwaq Forums are designed to be dynamic and evolving. Users can save the state of a Qwaq Forums virtual space at any time. The saved state includes any editing made by users to documents or content in the space; for example, if you had been working on a budgeting spreadsheet, any changes you and other users made to that spreadsheet would be saved along with the rest of the state of the virtual space. This capability provides a powerful way for users to work on projects that cannot be completed in one session and allows them to leave incremental work updates for each other when working asynchronously.
Simple virtual workspace creation. Create meeting rooms, offices, lab rooms or other indoor spaces from existing room templates. The templates provide ready-to-use rooms that can be used right away or further customized. Use the Qwaq Virtual Campus™ to create outdoor spaces. All spaces can be linked together using drag and drop commands.
