Internet system for virtual telepresence

摘要

An interactive virtual telepresence system allows an Internet user to view three-dimensional objects from any perspective in a studio at a remote server. The system includes several video cameras trained on the three-dimensional objects and a computer that calculates the voxel-representation of the solid. The server broadcasts each camera view and voxel information. A user selects the viewing perspective desired, and the computer at the user's site receives the nearest camera views to the requested perspective and voxel information for the interpolation and renders the selected view.
