Tele-Immersion |
|
Tele-Immersion will enable users in different locations to collaborate in a shared, simulated environment as if they were in the same physical room. It's the ultimate synthesis of networking and media technologies to enhance collaborative environments. In the tele-immersive environment, computers recognize the presence and movements of individuals and objects, track those images, and then permit them to be projected in realistic, multiple, geographically distributed immersive environments where individuals can interact with each other and with computer generated models. |

To make these new distributed immersive environments a reality, Advanced Network & Services has acted as a catalyst bringing together recognized experts in virtual reality and networking, let by VR pioneer Jaron Lanier, to identify the issues and develop plans to build a national tele-immersive research infrastructure. With goals of accelerating the development of better tools for research and educational collaboration, this plan will be woven into the fabric of many of the Next Generation Internet applications.
