Teleimmersion for the doctor's office.
The purpose of our research is the development of a new technology, teleimmersion, which will make possible 3D visual communication between people distributed over the globe. We are putting together a low-end, PC-based, affordable hardware system, and are developing the software for a teleimmersion node (T-node). The software is based on accurate polynocular stereo. We will describe a testbed for the system, show results, and discuss challenges for future research and implementation.
