First trial courses of this future technology in the USA passed successfully. In the frame of that "nationally Tele-immersion initiative" (NTII) researchers had transmitted the three-dimensional pictures out of four universities and institutes over far distances. The amounts of data, that are to be transported in this fusion of 3D-Technik and communication, require yet very high bandwidth, deliver however actually causing pictures. "In Tele-immersion becomes the screen a window to a far removed place", explains Kostas Daniilidis, trial leader at the University of Pennsylvania: "the person, with which you speak, becomes in three dimensions in life size projects -one can even behind it or it look." Each interlocutor sits before large wall screen, on which that are to be seen permanently after rule 3D-Bilder. Several digital video cameras of light the person out of different view angles off. In addition a type position transmitter comes on the head, that registers variations in the body bearing. The receiver of the pictures uses polarized suggests a 3D-Brille with glass, that the brain a three-dimensional picture. At the same time each movement of the filmed person has direct effects on the transmitted picture: she leans herself before or back, becomes its picture also negligibly larger or littler, like in the correct life. "It is in about like that 'Holodeck' of the spaceship Enterprise", says Daniilidis, "it permitted us, with flat pictures to interact, as if it living, breathing persons direct before us would be." In the Versuchsläufen, the transmission quality was something else shaky, and previously also only a participant of the conference was able to see its removed colleagues. Yet Daniilidis and its colleagues of the University of North Carolina at Chapel echoed, are convinced who Brown University and that Advanced network New York Non-profit-firm and services by the possibilities of the technology. They see the coming revolution of the telecommunication in the Tele-immersion. Once the childrens' shoe outgrow, should come itself thanks to these technologies persons out of different corners of the world virtual very nearly. Doctors could be quasi present through it in the operation room, virtual actor sample would be substantially more realistic, Tele-students and -students would be its apprenticeship body very near. And finally in conferences and important sessions, one not more personally could perceive the partners, say the researchers.</blockquote>
