Call for Panel Proposals

INTRODUCTION

IMMERSCOM focusses on multi- and cross-disciplinary research on capturing, processing, analyzing, coding, communication, and rendering of rich audio-visual content in order to enable remote immersive experiences of objects and environments. The body of technologies that enable such immersive remote experiences is collectively referred to as immersive telecommunications technologies. Applications of immersive telecommunications technologies can be varied, and include telepresence, industrial automation, health care, education, and entertainment. Since many of these are potentially green technologies, in an era of increasing energy costs, they would likely increase in commercial importance in the near future.

PANEL PROPOSALS

Proposals for panels on Immersive telecommunications technologies, and related topics are solicited. Proposals should consist of:

1) title and outline of materials to be presented,
2) description of potential audience,
3) justification of why the proposed topic is interesting and timely and,
4) biographical sketch of the presenter(s).

Panel topics should address innovative, controversial, or otherwise provocative issues of interest related to immersive communications. Please submit your proposals to the Panel Chair, Ruigang Yang by Feb 1, 2008.
