本文考虑了现有网络技术对于创意艺术中分布式戏剧表演和在线学习环境中对称实时交互的局限性。它研究了一个多学科研究联盟的经验，该联盟旨在为这些领域的用户遇到的延迟和其他网络问题引入解决方案。该解决方案建立在多播协议、接入网格之上，这是一种由极高带宽网络支持的环境。该解决方案旨在提供高质量的图像和声音、与其他网络平台的交互、多点传输的最大用户控制以及针对特定用途灵活且可修改的开放编程工具。作者根据长期的参与观察提出了一个案例研究。这为检查多学科项目中促进技术创新的挑战提供了基础。我们重点介绍了满足严格的质量标准所需的技术进步、文化和组织变革、研究联盟计划进行实验和学习的方式，以及难以实现满足创意艺术和教育领域用户需求的开放平台的因素。
This paper considers limitations of existing network technologies for distributed theatrical performance in the creative arts and for symmetrical real-time interaction in online learning environments. It examines the experience of a multidisciplinary research consortium that aimed to introduce a solution to latency and other network problems experienced by users in these sectors. The solution builds on the Multicast protocol, Access Grid, an environment supported by very high bandwidth networks. The solution is intended to offer high-quality image and sound, interaction with other network platforms, maximum user control of multipoint transmissions, and open programming tools that are flexible and modifiable for specific uses. A case study is presented drawing upon an extended period of participant observation by the authors. This provides a basis for an examination of the challenges of promoting technological innovation in a multidisciplinary project. We highlight the kinds of technical advances and cultural and organizational changes that would be required to meet demanding quality standards, the way a research consortium planned to engage in experimentation and learning, and factors making it difficult to achieve an open platform that is responsive to the needs of users in the creative arts and education sectors.
