Forward to Tele3DWorld Immersion.

Forward to Tele3DWorld Immersion.
As prices of computing hardware falls and software standardization and reusability becomes common place, like the computers of yesterday, the tele-immersive systems of today will also become available to the general public. Along with this is expected to become a powerful drive into tele-immersive application development in all applicable areas. There also exists the possibility for future application of tele-immersion in some new areas like Music Synthesis, Psychotherapy, Mass Communications, Social care, and Politics, etc.

Ubiquitous computing is a technology that emphasizes seamless integration of Computers into Human Lives. Using technologies like smart spaces, Miniaturization, etc., it aims at pushing computers into the background so much so that while using them at all points of time, the user will still be unconscious of their presence. True Tele-Immersion will allow users to forget terminals and PCs and focus on their work without thinking of the background jobs. Hence from one point of view tele-immersion is also a step towards the true ubiquitous computing vision.

In the end it can be said that although tele-immersion has come a long way from the inception of the concept in the 1990’s, it is still a fledgling field with a huge scope for further research and development. A lot of exciting new possibilities and vistas are opening up as both our hardware and software technology races ahead. The CAVEUT project which boasts of an active participating population has a commercial value projected to spiral up into the billions of Dollars is a standing testament to the potential of Tele-immersion technology and its immense power to satisfy the growing demand.
