Virtual Roommates in Ambient Telepresence Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce Virtual Roommates — a mapping of loosely linked spaces, that allows users to overlay multiple physical and virtual scenes and populate them with physical and/or virtual characters. As the name implies, the Virtual Roommates concept provides continuous ambient presence for multiple disparate groups, similar to people sharing living conditions, but without the boundaries of real space.

متن کاملAmbient Telepresence
Ambient Telepresence is introduced as a method to give someone the feeling that someone else is present while that person is in fact not co-located. In contrast to other telepresence approaches, ambient telepresence is focused on mediating background activity to promote a peripheral sense of presence. A remote person’s handling of everyday objects is mapped to an ambient presentation in the loc...
متن کاملblue-c: Using 3D Video for Immersive Telepresence Applications
In this paper we describe real-time 3D video technology for immersive telepresence applications. The technology allows users to meet and collaborate in networked virtual environments in full 3D. The user can freely navigate and see himself or others from arbitrary viewing points. The photorealistic appearance of a 3D user representation allows for natural collaboration in immersive spaces and e...
متن کاملThe Turing Test for Telepresence
The quality of high-end videoconferencing systems has improved significantly over the last few years enabling a class of applications known as “telepresence” wherein the users engaged in a communication session experience a feeling of mutual presence in a shared virtual space. Telepresence systems have reached a maturity level that seriously challenges the old familiar truism that a face-to-fac...
