Augmented Virtual Teleportation – Teleport into the Media
Abstract:
New Zealand is well known for its beautiful nature and has contributed to many movies and commercials. A strong media ecosystem has been built to support the related industry. This talk will introduce recent convergence of immersive, interactive, and intelligent media technologies, which presents a novel Cinematic XR platform allowing users’ illusion to teleport and interact with the objects in the video.
The further extension of the platform with the high-speed network, Augmented Virtual Teleportation (AVT) is then introduced. It will be able to allow remote interaction and immersive collaboration with people in distance. Finally, case studies and potential applications of AVT will be introduced and discussed.
