This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project addresses the challenge of seamless interoperability among computer systems and user interface components such as displays and keyboards. Today these components are tightly coupled with the computer, which restricts the utility of both-especially in mobile computing systems, where users invariably have to choose between usable displays and reasonable portability. A familiar manifestation of the opportunity is the "conference display swap" problem. The over-all goal of the project is to develop and specify robust, efficient and secure interfaces that enable computers to dynamically discover, connect to and use displays over moderate-bandwidth network connections. The Phase I investigation will focus on efficient encoding techniques for an interoperable virtual display interface that can be run over existing wireless network technologies. The interface will make it possible for multiple computers to share a projection display serially via software. In the longer term, it frees mobile computing systems to evolve independently of display technology, and leads to a model in which user interface devices are considered public infrastructure.This research has commercial application in a number of industries where seamless display sharing is routinely required but is not yet supported, such as conference management, higher education, and medicine.

这项小型企业创新研究（SBIR）I期项目解决了计算机系统和用户界面组件（例如显示器和键盘）之间无缝互操作性的挑战。如今，这些组件与计算机紧密相结合，这限制了两者的实用性，尤其是在移动计算系统中，在此过程中，用户总是必须在可用的显示和合理的便携性之间进行选择。机会的熟悉表现是“会议显示交换”问题。该项目的全部目标是开发和指定强大，高效且安全的接口，使计算机能够通过中等带宽网络连接动态发现，连接和使用显示。第一阶段的调查将集中在可互操作的虚拟显示界面的有效编码技术上，该技术可以通过现有的无线网络技术运行。该接口将使多个计算机可以通过软件串行共享投影显示。从长远来看，它可以释放移动计算系统以独立于展示技术而发展，并导致一个模型，在该模型中，用户界面设备被视为公共基础架构。这项研究在许多行业中具有商业应用，在许多行业中，通常要求无缝显示共享，但需要尚未得到支持，例如会议管理，高等教育和医学。
