Topic: BiReality: Mutually Immersive Mobile Telepresence
Speaker: Norm Jouppi
Hewlett-Packard
About the talk:
BiReality uses a teleoperated robotic surrogate to visit remote
locations as a substitute for physical travel. Our goal is to
create to the greatest extent practical, both for the user and
the people at the remote location, the sensory experience
relevant for business interactions of the user actually being in
the remote location. Our second-generation system provides a
360-degree surround immersive audio and visual experience for
both the user and remote participants, and streams eight 720x480
MPEG-2 videos totaling almost 20Mb/s over 802.11a wireless
networking. The system preserves gaze and eye contact, presents
local and remote participants to each other at life size, and
preserves the head height of the user at the remote location.
This talk focuses on some of the system challenges inherent in
the project, and includes a short video demonstration.
About the speaker:
