    eCollaboration — 'The Drive for Simplicity' (2000)

    Notes: Abstract Technologies to allow users to collaborate together, independent of distance, have been available for a number of years. However, the usage of these technologies has remained limited even though companies have seen a steady increase in the need for communication between geographically dispersed staff. As a result, more travel is required than ever before—with all its associated costs, both monetary and social. This paper explores some of the reasons why eCollaboration has yet to deliver its full potential, and describes a number of solutions which BT is developing to address these issues.

    True-view Videoconferencing System Through 3-D Impression of Telepresence (1999)
    Springer

    Notes: Abstract It can be argued that an ideal teleconferencing system would offer a sense of presence comparable to that afforded by real face-to-face meetings. In contrast, traditional desktop videoconferencing loses essential socially important phenomena such as true perspective views, live facial expressions and tacit body language. This paper reports a prototype concept demonstrator under development at BT Laboratores that addresses these issues in order to make the use of videoconferencing a normal social activity rather than a means of merely getting messages across the channel. The idea is to place participants from different remote sites in a coherent virtual environment naturally extended from the real world. The participants have correct views of each other and the illusion of close proximity. The rationale is to build on the demonstrator and enhance it with increasingly realistic functional components as the relevant technical solutions become available. Results are presented of a stereo-based vision system which can synthesise novel (or virtual camera) perspective views of the scene from two fixed camera views. The technique is currently capable of providing 'look-around' views and a certain degree of navigation capability around the scene. Research issues are discussed together with the practical difficulties that remain to be solved in implementing a true-view, telepresence, videoconferencing system.

    Telepresence — the future of telephony (1997)
    Springer
    BT technology journal 15 (1997), S. 11-18 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-1995
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Electrical Engineering, Measurement and Control Technology
    Notes: Abstract Opportunities for future telepresence services, creating a sense of being present at a remote location, are outlined against a backdrop of telephony as an existing, highly successful telecommunications service. In providing a context for the papers of this themed issue, key telepresence technologies, the building blocks of future services, addressing issues in audio, data, video and virtual environments are reviewed. The practical complexity of commercial telepresence applications, where developments in component multimedia technologies must be complemented by advances in integration, interface and service, is also considered. The paper concludes with a commentary on early applications and a vision of more generic future telepresence solutions — ‘Immersive Conferencing’ and ‘Persistent Communities’.
