Presentation Transcript

  1. AGENDA • Introduction • Early developments • Requirements for immersive tele conferences systems • How tele immersion works • Share table environment • Tele cubicles • Examples of tele immersion • Collaboration with I2 and IPPM • Conclusion and future applications

  2. INTRODUCTION • Aimed to enable users in geographically distributed sites to collaborate in real time in a shared simulated environment as if they were in the same physical room • Users actually feel like they are actually looking , talking and meeting with each other face-to-face in the same room • Tele Immersion can simply be termed as a next step to video conferencing • It differs from video-conferencing in that user’s view of the remote environment changes dynamically as he moves his head.

  3. DEFINATION “The term Tele-immersion was first used… as the title of the workshop… to bring togather researchers in distributed computing , collaboration, virtual reality and networking” - Jason Leigh

  4. EARLY DEVELOPMENTS • After three years long work the team came up with it’s first demonstration in May 2000 • The experiment was conducted in Chapel Hill led by UNC computer scientists Henry Fuchs and Greg Welch.

  6. HOW TELE-IMMERSION WORKS • There is a sea of cameras which provide view of users and their surroundings • Mounted Virtual Mirrors provide each user a view how his surrounding seems to others • Imperceptible structured light looks like white light but projects flickering of patterns • Screen uses two overlapping projections of polarized images and requires users to wear polarized glasses so that each image is seen only by one eye

  7. SHARED TABLE ENVIRONMENT • It is based on the idea to position the participants consistently in a virtual environment around the shared table • At the transmitting side the conferee infront of the display is captured by multiple cameras and a 3-D image of the conferee is derived from this multi view set-up. The 3-D image of the participating conferees are then place virtually around the shared table • At the receiving end this composed scene is rendered onto the 2-D display of the terminal by using a virtual camera. The position of the camera coincides with the current position of the conferee’s head.

  8. TELE CUBICLE • “Tele cubicle is an office that can appear to become one quadrant in a larger shared virtual office space.” • The main idea behind this work came directly from Tele-Immersion meeting on July 21,1997 at the Advance Network Office.

  11. COLLABORATION WITH I2 & IPPM • To cop up with the problem like communicating speed and better transmission over the network, Tele-Immersion team collaborate with Internet2 and Internet Protocol Performance Metrics. • Main problem as obvious was that today’s internet is not fast enough to transmit data, specially when you need to transmit a huge bulk of data across the internet • The experiment conducted at Chapel Hill used 60 megabits per second and good quality tele-immersion requires 1.2 gigabits per second.

  12. APPLICATIONS • Preoprative planning • Tele diagnostics • Tele-assisted surgery • Advanced surgerical training OTHERS • Tele-meetings • Tele-collaborative design • Remote learning & training • 3-D interactive video • Entertainment

  13. CONCLUSION • All this relies on the advancement in emerging technologies, most heavily on the ability of Internet to ship data across different networks without delay • In the years to some it will be one of the major developments, you could visit each other environment So it 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
