1. A method comprising:
- displaying, at a client computer, a first screen layout, the client computer in communication with a server computer creating a web-based meeting space;
receiving a description of a second screen layout from the server computer;
determining, at the client computer, a difference between the first screen layout and the second screen layout by comparing the first screen layout to the description of the second screen layout received from the server computer, wherein the first and second screen layouts include at least one pod each; and
rendering, at the client computer, the difference as a dynamic and intermediate screen layout that uses a representation of physical motion to present a gradual change.

11. A computing system comprising:
-
a processor; a display; and a memory, wherein the memory embodies one or more program components that configure the computing system to; provide an electronic meeting space, wherein the electronic meeting space includes a first screen layout of one or more visual pods rendered using the display; receive instructions from a host indicating how to change the screen layout, the instructions including a second screen layout; and modify the screen layout based on the instructions, wherein modifying the screen layout comprises providing sensory motion context using the display while rendering a live or recorded on-line meeting presented within the electronic meeting space. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
