Abstract

Tele-immersion is one of the applications being developed in conjunction with the Internet-2 initiative.Most of the research in this area has focused on issues pertaining to image acquisition and display,tracking technologies, robotics,haptics,etc.In order to maintain consistency of a tele-immersive experience one also needs to develop a suit of solutions that will ensure proper coordination between the participants.This will require protocols for real-time causal delivery of messages while maintaining the privacy of conversations and preventing forgery of message contents.This paper discusses these issues while considering a tele-immersive environment as a distributed message passing system.
