Tele-immersion is 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. It can be defined as that sense of shared presence with
distant individuals and their environments that feels substantially as if they were in
one's own local space. It will be implemented with Internet2 that will
enable users in different geographic locations to come together in a simulated
environment to interact. People can actually look, talk, and
meet with each other face-to-face as if thry are in the same room.
Working:
This is achieved using computers that recognize the presence and movements of individuals and objects, tracking those individuals and images, andreconstructing them onto one stereo-immersive surface.the conferee in front of the display is captured by multiple cameras
and a 3D image of the conferee is derived from this multiview set-up. The 3D images of all
participating conferees are then placed virtually around a shared table. At the receiving end this entirely composed 3D scene is rendered onto the 2D display of
the terminal by using a virtual camera whose position is the current positon of the conferee's head.
Thus all conferees see the scene under the right
perspective view, even while changing their own viewing position.the isotropic scene composition and the symmetry make all images appear
well balanced in natural life-size at the displays.
