Objetivo: Compreender a distribuição espaço-temporal do acesso aos serviços de tele-educação ofertados por um Núcleo Telessaúde para todo território nacional entre os anos 2016 2020. Métodos: Foram utilizados dados secundários da plataforma Brasil Redes que integra o Sistema Gerenciamento Atividades Tele-Educação Hospital Universitário Universidade Federal Maranhão, em São Luís-MA. A construção...

A communication platform is described that supports the fast implementation of networked multimedia applications with conference character and collaboration features. The platform exhibits the notion of a site as one of its main abstractions. A site is a collection of workstations, media input and output devices that are, in terms of control, tightly coupled. Connection and application control ...

AN Internet connection on the train offers a lot of perspectives for the passengers [1]. Within the train they can now enjoy leisure activities like infotainment, on line gaming, web surfing, Video on Demand etc. Business travelers have a virtual office during their journey with applications such as e-mail and video conferencing. But apart from gaining additional revenues due to both Internet a...

The design and development of computational infrastructures supporting existing tele-laboratory experiences in the field of automation and robotics are described. The goal of the activity is to provide a proper e-learning environment in which remote laboratory experiences are integrated in a coherent way. The addition of e-learning features, as self-assessment and progress monitoring tools, asy...

The problem of finding a feasible and technically simple tele-existence system for teleoperation of heavy work vehicles is considered with the aid of two experimental test series. Several test persons of different ages and experience were used in experiments in which a basic audio/video tele-existence system with head-tracking was modified into different versions and tested. Conclusions indicat...

The NTC has contracted Chula UniSearch, a consulting arm of Chulalongkorn University (CU), led by Dr. Supavadee Aramvith and Dr. Chaodit Aswakul, to operate the project which is participated by CAT Telecom, Samart Telecom, AIS, NEC, Rohde&Schwarz, FORTH and ADC Communications. NGN technologies such as 3G, Wi-Max, VoIP, SIP server/Soft switch, VoD and FTTH are evaluated in the project along with...

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...

Computers are ever more thought of to support cooperative work over distances. Thus tele-cooperation tools and environments are needed which bring the meeting and joint-working onto everyone’s desktop. The following paper introduces a framework for such tele-cooperation. The required cooperation-awareness is achieved by a session model around which the building blocks of the entire service are ...

The work describes on-going work at the University of Pisa on the field of tele-laboratories and distance learning. In particular, the group is working at the evolution of existing tele-laboratory experiments in the field of robotics and control into learning units of a self-consistent didactic project. The pick-andplace system described has been designed to provide the set-up for robot arm mot...
