Overview

June 2010Stephen Botzko

Telepresence AG GoalCraft an industry solution and

standard for widespread adoption.

An extensible solution is required that will support existing and envisioned use cases.

The Path to a Standard• Telepresence AG - community consensus

– problem description– use cases– requirements

• IETF - standardization– the solution– will have other communities– RAI DISPATCH WG

Telepresence AG ObjectiveSpecify requirements and use cases

for multi-streaming

as input to Standards Development Organizations (SDO) such as the IETF to standardize a multi-streaming solution

Multi-Streaming – What are the Issues?

• Need to present multiple video streams in a coherent manner

• Need to be able to scale video to show people at the correct size

• Need to provide a spatial audio sound stage that is consistent with the video

• Need to be able to associate audio and videoRelationships between all kinds of media for all

kinds of devices

Distributed MultiviewTable-Center Multiview

Immersive

Multi-Streaming – What’s the Scope?• Use cases for interoperable ‘immersive’ experience

– Full Size display with eye contact and gaze awareness– Consistent sound stage at all sites

• Multi-screen non-immersive experience• Multipoint• Simulcast and Layered Video• Interop between single and multiscreen systems• 3D

Boundary between Video Conferencing and Telepresence is becoming blurred.
