TELE-IMMERSION

A Greatest Challenge for internet 2

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.

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

WIDE-FIELD-OF-VIEW (WFOV) 2D CAMERA SYSTEMS

INCREDIBLE BANDWIDTH

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 REQUIRES:1.2 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

APPLICATIONS
E-BOOKS FOR SURGICAL TRAINING MULTI-PERSON TELE-IMMERSION

ELECTRONIC BOOKS FOR SURGICAL TRAINING

MULTI PERSON TELE-IMMERSION

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,MEDICINE,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
