WHAT IS TELE-IMMERSION?WHAT IS TELE-IMMERSION?

A developing application of Internet2 intended A developing application of Internet2 intended to allow multiple, geographically distributed to allow multiple, geographically distributed users to collaborate in real time in a shared, users to collaborate in real time in a shared, simulated hybrid environment through a simulated hybrid environment through a synthesis of media technologies such as three-synthesis of media technologies such as three-dimensional (3D) environment scanning, dimensional (3D) environment scanning, projection and display, tracking, audio, video, projection and display, tracking, audio, video, robotics technologies. robotics technologies.

WHY TELE-IMMERSION?WHY TELE-IMMERSION?

Drawbacks of Tele-conferencing are

• • Poor sound and Image QualityPoor sound and Image Quality

• • Unacceptable delaysUnacceptable delays

• • Eye-contact problemEye-contact problem

WHY TELE-IMMERSION?WHY TELE-IMMERSION?

The eye-to-eye problem is solved by tele-immersion a The eye-to-eye problem is solved by tele-immersion a technology that goes several steps beyond technology that goes several steps beyond teleconferencing to create the illusion that people teleconferencing to create the illusion that people separated by distance are together in the same room.separated by distance are together in the same room. Using high-bandwidth networks and clusters of video Using high-bandwidth networks and clusters of video cameras linked to banks of computers, tele-immersion cameras linked to banks of computers, tele-immersion scans a person's face and body and creates a kind of scans a person's face and body and creates a kind of living statue that other tele-immersion participants see living statue that other tele-immersion participants see displayed on a large screen. displayed on a large screen. The overall effect is like talking face to face to another The overall effect is like talking face to face to another person, separated by a pane of glass. person, separated by a pane of glass.

OFFICE OF THE FUTURE !!!OFFICE OF THE FUTURE !!!

Our goals include a Our goals include a better everyday better everyday graphical display graphical display environment, and 3D environment, and 3D tele-immersion tele-immersion capabilities that allow capabilities that allow distant people to feel distant people to feel as though they are as though they are together in a shared together in a shared office space.office space.

BENEFITS :BENEFITS :

• • High reliabilityHigh reliability

•• Propagation Delay and queuing is Propagation Delay and queuing is

less.less.

•• Low latency data-transfer Low latency data-transfer

•• Advanced data transfer techniquesAdvanced data transfer techniques

•• Better quality of service. Better quality of service.

•• High throughput techniques High throughput techniques

LIMITATIONS:LIMITATIONS:

Tele-immersion has been one of the major Tele-immersion has been one of the major developments but still there is one thing still left developments but still there is one thing still left is the physical contact of individual at each is the physical contact of individual at each endend..

SUMMARYSUMMARY

Overally Tele-Immersion can be

summarized as

Collaboration at geographically distributed sites in real-time

Synthesis of networking and media technologies

Full integration of Virtual Reality into the workflow
