Immersive Telepresence

Immersive telepresence aims to create a realistic sense of "being there" remotely through robotic avatars or virtual representations. Current research heavily focuses on improving avatar realism, particularly through advancements in egocentric view-driven full-body avatar modeling and efficient, on-device processing of facial expressions for real-time interaction. Key challenges include minimizing latency and motion sickness, often addressed through techniques like unwinding rotations and employing robust wireless communication. This field holds significant potential for applications in remote collaboration, rehabilitation, and various other areas requiring remote human interaction.
