The document discusses the OptIPlanet Collaboratory, which supports researchers worldwide through integration of high definition video streams, large scale image display walls, and collaborative analysis of large scale images. It enables e-science collaborations without walls through uncompressed HD telepresence. OptIPortals using embedded iHDTV allow collaboration between multiple locations and are being adopted globally at various research institutions.
