Advanced Immersive Tele-Collaboration

Supporting Closely Coupled Collaboration around Shared Objects in Immersive Virtual Environments

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Tele-collaboration technologies, such as video-
conferencing and shared desktop systems, are used to
enable a group of remote people to work together
across a distance. We argue that, as of today,
linking immersive virtual reality systems provides
the closest resemblance of co-location, as remote
people and shared objects are brought together in a
shared social and spatial context. Balancing
responsiveness with consistency, a key factor when
employing tele-collaboration systems, however,
becomes a great challenge due to the increased data
load caused by continuous motion tracking in
immersive systems. This book identifies issues in
current systems by analysing the development of a
highly collaborative benchmark application using a
representative mature and well-known collaborative
virtual environment system and presents solutions for
future advanced immersive tele-collaboration systems.
This book is for software developers as well as for
researchers and students interested in the technical
issues of modern communication systems.
