TITLE:: Architecture and Implementation of a Java Package for Multiple Input
Devices (MID) 
AUTHOR:: Hourcade, Juan Pablo

ABSTRACT:: 

A major difficulty in writing Single Display Groupware (co-present 
collaborative) applications is getting input from multiple devices. We 
introduce MID, a Java package that addresses this problem and offers an 
architecture to access advanced events through Java.  In this paper, we 
describe the features, architecture and limitations of MID.  We also briefly 
describe an application that uses MID to get input from multiple mice: KidPad.
