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.
