1. IMTC Telepresence AG Overview
June 2010
Stephen Botzko

2. Telepresence AG Goal
Craft an industry solution and standard for widespread adoption.
An extensible solution is required that will support existing and envisioned use cases.

3. The Path to a Standard Telepresence AG - community consensus
problem description
use cases
requirements
IETF - standardization
the solution
will have other communities
RAI DISPATCH WG

4. Telepresence AG Objective
Specify requirements and use cases
for multi-streaming
as input to Standards Development Organizations (SDO) such as the IETF to standardize a multi-streaming solution

5. Multi-Streaming – What are the Issues?
Need to present multiple video streams in a coherent manner
Need to be able to scale video to show people at the correct size
Need to provide a spatial audio sound stage that is consistent with the video
Need to be able to associate audio and video
Relationships between all kinds of media for all kinds of devices

6. Table-End Traditional Table-End Multiview
Distributed Multiview
Table-Center Multiview
For group conference settings within a room, there are a few basic configurations for camera coverage.
Immersive 6

7. Multi-Streaming – What’s the Scope?
Use cases for interoperable ‘immersive’ experience
Full Size display with eye contact and gaze awareness
Consistent sound stage at all sites
Multi-screen non-immersive experience
Multipoint
Simulcast and Layered Video
Interop between single and multiscreen systems 3D
Boundary between Video Conferencing and Telepresence is becoming blurred.
