Tele-immersion, the next generation of communication and collaboration technologies

Ruzena Bajcsy
EECS Department, University of California Berkley

Dr. Bajcsy was the plenary speaker during lunch. She discussed her work in tele-immersion. In her work with tele-immersion, she is using video cameras and technology to capture two people at different locations and allow them to visually communicate. In the examples that she showed, two dancers, in two different parts of the country, in real-time, are able to 'dance together' by viewing the other person on a computer monitor, in 3D.

Applications include: scientific collaboration, teaching & training and the arts.
