WHAT IS TELE-IMMERSION ???

• TELE-IMMERSION IS A NEW COMMUNICATION MEDIUM
  TRYING TO CREATE THE ILLUSION THAT USERS AT
  GEOGRAPHICALLY DISPERSED PLACES SHARE THE SAME
  PHYSICAL SPACE POSSIBLY AUGMENTED BY VIRTUAL
  COMPONENTS.

3
TELE-IMMERSION IS THE ULTIMATE SYNTHESIS OF
COMPUTER VISION, NETWORKING, AND GRAPHICS. IT
REQUIRES THE REAL-TIME SCANNING OF A SCENE, ITS
TRANSMISSION WITH MINIMAL LATENCY, AND ITS
IMMERSIVE RENDERING AT A REMOTE SITE.

TELE-IMMERSION VR

• TELE-IMMERSION SEEMS LIKE ANOTHER KIND OF VIRTUAL
  REALITY
• VIRTUAL REALITY ALLOWS PEOPLE TO MOVE AROUND IN A
  PREPROGRAMMED REPRESENTATION OF 3D ENVIRONMENT
• BUT
• TELE-IMMERSION IS MORE LIKE PHOTOGRAPHY MEASURING
  THE REAL WORLD AND CONVEYING THE RESULTS TO THE
  SENSORY SYSTEM

STONES TO BE TURNED UP

• TODAY'S INTERNET CANNOT SHIP DATA FAST
  ENOUGH.TODAY'S 56 KBPS CONNECTIONS CANNOT DO
  THAT. MINIMUM 60 MBPS REQUIRED.HIGH QUALITY
  REQUIRES1.2 GBPS
• IN ADDITION TO HIGH SPEED NETWORKS TELE-IMMERSION
  REQUIRES SUPERCOMPUTERS TO PERFORM THE TRILLIONS
  OF CALCULATIONS NEEDED TO PORTRAY ENVIRONMENTS IN
  3D

INTERNET2 ADDED VALUE

• THE INCREASED BANDWIDTH PROVIDED BY INTERNET2
  WILL ALLOW MORE DATA ABOUT A REMOTE ENVIRONMENT
  TO BE TRANSMITTED,THUS PROVIDING FOR A GREATER
  SENSE OF IMMERSION
• TELE-IMMERSION IS THE ONLY APPLICATION WHICH CAN
  DEPLOY THE FULL BANDWIDTH OF INTERNET2
• GREATEST TECHNICAL CHALLENGE FOR INTERNET2

CONCLUSION

• IT IS THE NEXT MAJOR DEVELOPMENT IN THE FIELD OF
  INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AS NOW YOU CAN VISIT AN
  INDIVIDUAL AT A LONG DISTANCE EVEN WITHOUT
  STEPPING A FOOT OUTSIDE
• THIS TECHNOLOGY WILL ENABLE RESEARCHERS TO
  COLLABORATE IN FIELDS SUCH AS ARCHITECTURE,MEDICIN
  E,ASTROPHYSICS AERO PLANE DESIGN
• EVEN THE FAST FOOD CHAIN MCDONALDS HAS ENVISIONED
  FITTING TELE-IMMERSION BOOTHS IN ITS RESTAURANTS
  SO PEOPLE AWAY FROM HOME COULD HAVE DINNER WITH
  THEIR FAMILY
• HENCE THIS TECHNOLOGY IS NOT THAT FAR OFF
