SAGE2 - Scalable Amplified Group Environment

Connect to SAGE2 via this address: https://hydra.dtn.alaska.edu:9090

On the main system, launch the SAGE2 program with the “S2” icon in the Start menu.
It will prompt you for login. The credentials are:
- User ID: sage2
- Password: sage2
An administration Chrome window will open
To launch sage, click Start in the Launch SAGE2 section
At the moment, SAGE is configured to launch across all 7 screens. If you would like to change that, let any Vis Space staff member know.
Once SAGE launches, it will play a short tune and a grey canvas will appear across all the screens. This can be minimized and manipulated as any other application and window. So even with SAGE running, you can still run other programs on the computer such as web browsers, videos, or presentations. Use ALT+TAB to cycle between them.

You have to be connected to a UAF network, preferably "DTN" if you're in Vis Space.
On your laptop, open Google Chrome (Other browsers are discouraged, Chrome works the best)
In your web address bar type the following address exactly: https://hydra.dtn.alaska.edu:9090
You will get a warning saying “Your connection is not private”
- This is ok, as you are on a private network. If SAGE moves to another network in the future, the connection will be secured.
To continue, click Advanced on the bottom left of the window
And then click Proceed to hydra.dtn.alaska.edu (unsafe)

Across the top of your window, you will see the seven screens as little rectangles
Below the screens, you see 10 buttons that let you interact with SAGE and launch content on the main screens
Any of the windows and applications you launch, you can drag and maximize anywhere on the 7 screens
You can push your mouse pointer to the main screens with the “SAGE2 Pointer”
You can launch any website or web based content with the “Browser”
You can upload and display files from your own computer with the “Media Browser”, to close the media browser, click the button again
You can share your screen with “Screen Sharing”
In “Settings” you can change your displayed name, color, and resolution and quality of your shared screen
You can put up notes and drawings with “Quick Note” and “Doodle”
You can change window arrangement with “Arrangement”
And you can launch built-in apps, such as Google Maps with “App Launcher”
