Microsoftresearchers in India have
developed a technology that allows organisations to split PC
screens to allow two simultaneous users using different
keyboards.
The system, reported by Indian national paper The Hindu, is
considered ideal for schools that are short of equipment and other
organisations that are short of space.
Scientists at the Bangalore unit of Microsoft Research created
the system, which is a piece of software that literally splits the
screen of a
Windows-powered PC.
It also allows collaboration between the two different users on
a single PC, as each user's mouse is allowed to stray onto the
other's half of the screen, to allow joint work on a document or
file.
