The Access Grid nodes at EVL handle the multi-site audio/video conferencing of the Continuum project. The goal of the Continuum Project is to develop integrated ubiquitous tools and environments to enhance collaboration amongst distantly located knowledge workers, such as scientists and engineers.

The Continuum centers around the concept of distributed, collaborative, "amplified work environments" where collaborators gather to solve problems assisted by advanced collaboration, computation and visualization technologies. Visualization and collaboration technologies include interactive stereoscopic computer graphics, multi-site audio/video conferencing, and high resolution tiled graphics displays. Backing these technologies are clusters of PCs connected over extremely highspeed gigabit networks.
