Tele-Immersion

Tele-immersion is a technology to be implemented with
Internet2 that will enable users in different geographic locations, even though they may be thousands of miles distant, to come together in a simulated environment to interact. Users will feel
like they are actually looking, talking, and meeting with each other
face-to-face in the same room.
Tele-Immersion is defined as the integration of audio and video conferencing, via image-based modeling, with collaborative virtual reality (CVR) in the context of data-mining and significant computation. It combines the display and interaction techniques of virtual reality with new computer-vision technologies. Thus with the aid of this new technology, users at geographically distributed sites can collaborate in real-time in a shared, simulated, hybrid environment submerging in one another presence and feel as if they are sharing the same physical space.
