TELE-IMMERSION

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

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

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
