2. WHAT IS TELE-IMMERSION? A developing application of Internet2 intended to allow multiple, geographically distributed users to collaborate in real time in a shared, simulated hybrid environment through a synthesis of media technologies such as three- dimensional (3D) environment scanning, projection and display, tracking, audio, video, robotics technologies.

3. WHY TELE-IMMERSION? Drawbacks of Tele-conferencing are Poor sound and Image Quality Poor sound and Image Quality Unacceptable delays Unacceptable delays Eye-contact problem Eye-contact problem

4. WHY TELE-IMMERSION? The eye-to-eye problem is solved by tele-immersion a technology that goes several steps beyond teleconferencing to create the illusion that people separated by distance are together in the same room. The eye-to-eye problem is solved by tele-immersion a technology that goes several steps beyond teleconferencing to create the illusion that people separated by distance are together in the same room. Using high-bandwidth networks and clusters of video cameras linked to banks of computers, tele-immersion scans a person's face and body and creates a kind of living statue that other tele-immersion participants see displayed on a large screen. Using high-bandwidth networks and clusters of video cameras linked to banks of computers, tele-immersion scans a person's face and body and creates a kind of living statue that other tele-immersion participants see displayed on a large screen. The overall effect is like talking face to face to another person, separated by a pane of glass.

5. OFFICE OF THE FUTURE !!! Our goals include a better everyday graphical display environment, and 3D tele-immersion capabilities that allow distant people to feel as though they are together in a shared office space.

10. GROUP TELE-IMMERSION Group Tele- Immersion (GTI) is for enabling high fidelity and immersive teleconferencing between groups at distant locations.

11. GROUP TELE-IMMERSION 3 projector display with 8 capture cameras mounted above the display

12. LINE SIGHT FIELD DESIGN: Abutted projector display with a dense horizontal camera array at table level and actual camera array implementation

13. GROUP TELE-IMMERSION Remote participants and local participants with display

14. INTERNET CONFERENCING Conference at the internet also can be possible with more sophisticated compression scheme and increased frame rate with Tele- immersion.

15. BENEFITS : High reliability High reliability Propagation Delay and queuing is Propagation Delay and queuing is less. less. Low latency data-transfer Low latency data-transfer Advanced data transfer techniques Advanced data transfer techniques Better quality of service. Better quality of service. High throughput techniques High throughput techniquesLIMITATIONS: Tele-immersion has been one of the major developments but still there is one thing still left is the physical contact of individual at each end.

16. APPLICATIONS Design and virtual prototyping, maintenance and repair, paleontological and archeological & Reconstruction. Design and virtual prototyping, maintenance and repair, paleontological and archeological & Reconstruction. In fields such as architecture, medicine, astrophysics and aeroplane design In fields such as architecture, medicine, astrophysics and aeroplane design

17. SUMMARY Overally Tele-Immersion can be summarized as Collaboration at geographically distributed sites in real-time Synthesis of networking and media technologies Full integration of Virtual Reality into the workflow
