Tele-Immersion: A New Virtual Space

1) Tele-immersion is a new medium that allows users at different locations to collaborate in a shared virtual 3D environment, giving the illusion they occupy the same physical space. It combines virtual reality displays with computer vision technologies. 2) The technology reconstructs 3D environments and users' movements through scanning and projects these into immersive virtual spaces. This allows interaction between remote users and with computer simulations. 3) Tele-immersion has potential applications in education, science, manufacturing by enabling collaboration on 3D objects. Medical and mechanical engineering applications could particularly benefit from combining virtual and real 3D objects.

Abstract :

Tele-Immersion is a new medium that enables a user to share a virtual space with remote participants.
The user is immersed in a 3D world that is transmitted from a remote site. This medium for human
interaction, enabled by digital technology, approximates the illusion that a person is in the same physical
space as others, even though they may be thousands of miles distant. It combines the display and
interaction techniques of virtual reality with new computer-vision technologies.

Thus with the aid of this new technology, users at geographically distributed sites can collaborate in real
time in a shared, simulated, hybrid environment submerging in one another's presence and feel as if
they are sharing the same physical space.

It is the ultimate synthesis of media technologies:

1.3D environment scanning,

[Link] and display technologies,

[Link] technologies,

[Link] technologies,

[Link] and haptics, and powerful networking.

The considerable requirements for tele-immersion system, make it one of the most challenging net
applications.

In a tele-immersive environment computers recognize the presence and movements of individuals and
objects, track those individuals and images, and then permit them to be projected in realistic, multiple,
geographically distributed immersive environments on stereo-immersive surfaces. This requires sampling
and resynthesis of the physical environment as well as the users' faces and bodies, which is a new
challenge that will move the range of emerging technologies, such as scene depth extraction and warp
rendering, to the next level.
Tele-immersive environments will therefore facilitate not only interaction between users themselves but
also between users and computer generated models and simulations. This will require expanding the
boundaries of computer vision, tracking, display, and rendering technologies. As a result, all of this will
enable users to achieve a compelling experience and it will lay the groundwork for a higher degree of
their inclusion into the entire system

Tele-immersive systems have potential to significantly change educational, scientific and manufacturing
paradigms. They will show their full strength in the systems where having 3D reconstructed 'real' objects
coupled with 3D virtual objects is crucial for the successful fulfillment of the tasks. It may also be the case
that some tasks would not be possible to complete without having such combination of sensory
information. There are several applications that will profit from tele-immersive systems. Collaborative
mechanical CAD applications as well as different medical applications are two that will benefit
significantly.

Tele-immersion may sound like conventional video conferencing. But it is much more. Where video
conferencing delivers flat images to a screen, tele-immersion recreates an entire remote environment.
Although not so, tele-immersion may seem like another kind of virtual reality. Virtual reality allows
people to move around in a pre-programmed representation of a 3D environment, whereas
tele-immersion is measuring the real world and conveying the results to the sensory [Link] of
