switch network topology is an awareness widget that shows the area around the caret used in collaborative text editing. Every time a user edits the text, select a character or navigates among the words the caret’s position is automatically replicated to the other participants of the collaborative session by means of a visual cue. With this widget the participants can see the exact position of the user’s caret showing to them where in the text the user is working at the moment.
Using the same concept, network provides the remote position of the cursor used to represent the movements of the user’s mouse pointer in the shared workspace. Telepointer can also show semantic information that identifies the current action being executed by changing the form, the color or the image used in the cursor.
