LandSAGE: Collaborative Large Display Systems for Landslide Response in Southeast Asia

LandSAGE is a program meant to advocate and train scientists and policy makers in Southeast Asia countries, such as Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos, to use collaborative large display systems (CyberCANOEs) to monitor and mitigate landslides. In this late breaking work we provide an overview of the first phase (out of three) of this program spread over five workshops conducted in Southeast Asia. We detail a design workshop meant to understand the needs of the local scientists and adapt them to large displays, an initial prototype we developed running on the SAGE2 platform, and conclude with some of the challenges we have encountered while bringing our workshops to Southeast Asia.
