Abstract
We introduce a new concept of an immersive 3D video-conference system and immersive tele-collaboration. Based on the principle of a shared virtual table environment (SVTE), the key features of the new system concept are explained and compared to the other SVTE approaches like tele-cubicles. Furthermore we present a complete system architecture based on MPEG-4 technology and discuss first implementations.
