Desktop Integration in Graphics Environments.
Virtual Environments 2009.
Conference or Workshop Item, Bibliographie

Abstract

In this paper, we present the usage of the Remote Desktop Protocol to integrate arbitrary, legacy applications in various environments. This approach accesses a desktop on a real computer or within a virtual machine. The result is not one image of the whole desktop, but a sequence of images of all desktop components (windows, dialogs, etc.). These components are rendered into textures and fed into a rendering framework (OpenSG). There the functional hierarchy is represented by a scene graph. In this way the desktop components can be rearranged freely and painted according to circumstances of the graphical environment supporting a wide range of display settings - from immersive environments via high-resolution tiled displays to mobile devices.
