Using Live Video to Represent Remote Users in Collaborative Virtual Environment
نویسنده
چکیده
How can live video be used, and used eeectively to represent remote users in a collaborative virtual environment? With today's high-end graphics workstations' video interfaces and computing power, processing and displaying live video at a real-time frame rate can be achieved. On the other hand, high-speed network which provides the bandwidth and speed necessary to transmit real-time frame rate video data is also becoming more available. This paper is a project report of a collabo-rative VR system which uses live video to display remote users.
