CG as a communication tool

Abstract

Tele-Immersion realizes the combination of physically separated worlds in a virtual world created by computers and networks. It is an active research topic due to the reach of CG technology and fast computer network infrastructure. At the same time, visual data mining is focused as analysis tools of bioscience and weather, because it helps the exploration of semantics from enormous number of image data. This paper introduces the trend of such technologies and recent collaborated visual data mining technologies under tele-immersion environments. The paper also discusses about the future of CG technologies as communication tools.
