Abstract
An object based computer system has viewers which may be directed around the object world of the system. A coupling facility is provided whereby viewers may be linked equally or in a hierarchy so that information is passed between them concerning the objects being viewed. Viewers may thus follow one another voluntarily or automatically for mutual working, demonstration or tuition, for example.
