Real-Time Terascale Implementation of Tele-immersion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tele-immersion is a new medium that enables a user to share a virtual space with remote participants, by creating the illusion that users at geographically dispersed locations reside at the same physical space. A person is immersed in a remote world, whose 3D representation is acquired remotely, then transmitted and displayed in the viewer’s environment. Tele-immersion is effective only when the three components, computation, transmission, and rendering all operate in real time . In this paper, we describe the real-time implementation of scene reconstruction on the Terascale Computing System at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center.

Real time trinocular stereo for tele-immersion
Tele-immersion is a technology that augments your space with real-time 3D projections of remote spaces thus facilitating the interaction of people from different places in virtually the same environment. Tele-immersion combines 3D scene recovery from computer vision, and rendering and interaction from computer graphics. We describe the realtime 3D scene acquisition using a new algorithm for tri...
متن کاملSecure Real-Time Communication for Tele-Immersion Systems Satisfying The Need For Secure Communication With Datagram Transport Layer Security
Real-time communication is often used in teleimmersion systems. The nature of this real-time information transmitted is often health industry related so it is imperative that security must be insured. Therefore, a need for establishing secure communication channels must be facilitated under realtime constraints. A widely used family of secure protocols to assure this is Transport Layer Security...
متن کاملFull-duplex multichannel communication: real-time implementations in a general framework
In this contribution, we embed full-duplex multichannel communication interfaces for tele-presence systems into a general framework. On the reproduction side, we consider a wide range of multichannel acoustic rendering techniques including traditional stereophony, ’5.1’ systems, and wave field synthesis using loudspeaker arrays for sound immersion. On the recording side, microphone arrays are d...
متن کاملPreliminary STAR TAP Tele-Immersion Experiments between Chicago and Singapore
Tele-Immersion is the merging of audio and video conferencing with collaborative virtual reality, datamining and significant computation systems. As TeleImmersion often involves distantly located participants all interacting with each other in real-time, it relies heavily on the quality of the underlying networks used to distribute information between participants. This paper presents our preli...
متن کاملSupporting Collaborative Awareness in Tele-immersion
The goal of this thesis is to present the virtual environments research community with a thorough investigation of collaborative awareness in Tele-immersion and related immersive virtual environments. Tele-immersion was originally defined in 1996 by Tom Defanti of the Electronic Visualization Laboratory (EVL), is "the union of networked VR and video in the context of significant computing and d...
