Distributed Virtual Meeting Room
Project Period: 5. 4. 2005 – 17. 11. 2005
Project Type: grant
networked virtual reality, distibuted 3D graphics, remote interaction and
collaboration, collaborative virtual environments
In the future, people may choose to meet in virtual meeting rooms using three
dimensional rendering and systems developed by AMI to augment the verbal and
non-verbal communications. Imagine, for example, that people wanted to meet in
a "neutral" space, or that they did not wish to disclose information about their
current surroundings. In the Distributed Virtual Meeting Room, all participants
can benefit from verbal and non-verbal communications; there can be pro-active
and reactive meeting support based on real time processing of the media streams,
detecting events and activities. Virtual reality will permit higher and more
comprehensive levels of visualization than is presently possible using current
commercial technologies.
