Advanced Telepresence Prototype (1 of 2) (IMAGE)
Caption
This is one of the prototypes that will be developed by the BeingThere Centre is a telepresence room that virtually joins several similarly instrumented remote rooms (e.g. in other countries). These rooms will all have wall-sized displays that give the illusion that the rooms are adjacent and separated only by glass walls even though they in different countries. These "glass wall" displays will provide each person in the room with the correct, personalized stereo view into the remote rooms, giving the illusion that all the participants, local and distant, are in one common space. This image shows a 3-D telepresence meeting between participants located in Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, ETH Zurich, Switzerland, and UNC-Chapel Hill, N.C.
