*Result*: A JAVA 3D-ENABLED CYBER WORKSPACE.

*The article focuses on the contribution of Java technology in fundamentally changing the work environment, helping produce compelling applications for collaborating over the Internet. To facilitate a viable collaborative environment, application servers must engage users in a 3D graphical interaction in addition to the dialogue-like data sharing. Despite these accomplishments in many areas, a shared collaborative system or workspace for real-time distributed environments are still missing. The approach toward building a Java 3D-enabled cyber workspace targets this area and tries to engage a dispersed working group in the shared workspace, allowing the team members to share real-time data through a set of interactive J3D models. J3D is used as one of the enabling technologies in developing the framework. A shared collaborative workspace is implemented on top of the framework for remote monitoring, control and troubleshooting. Participating in the workspace, users can not only reduce network traffic by real-time interactions with quick response, but also obtain more flexible control while still enjoying intuitive visualization of the real world.*
