UC Berkeley Professor of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science and member of the graduate group Ruzena Bajcsy is working on technology that will allow people to interact remotely in a 3-dimensional cyberspace.
The technology is called TEEVE (Tele-immersive Environment for EVErybody), is a cross-layer control and streaming system, using multi-camera room environments, transmitted over Internet2. This marks the first time such a system has been built from commercial off-the-shelf components.
It will be five to six years before TEEVE and other multi-camera collaborative environments are in regular use. Potential applications go beyond traditional videoconferencing to remote collaborative dance, sports education, and physical therapy.
This research was profiled in The Australian .
