Videoconferência multiambientes: o sistema Multipresença com foco na área da saúde

Abstract

This paper presents the Multipresence system with a focus on its uses for eHealth. The Multipresence system performs multi-technology videoconferencing, that is, it allows the interoperation of various technologies and devices such as: Telepresence rooms in high definition (until Full-HD); Ultra-telepresence room (4K); Sharing of content (images, texts, applications); Legacy videoconferencing systems (SIP standard); software application installed on the personal computer; Web conferencing (via web browser); Mobile devices and SIP phones. UFRGS University works in the coordination of the technological development of the Working Group GT-Multipresença in partnership with RNP (National Research and Education Network) and with Mconf Tecnologia Ltda. The project is in its fourth year of development, with functional prototypes very stable, and already been used for transmission and interaction in robotic surgeries. The objective of this article is to disseminate this technology as a driving force in the creation of video collaboration panels and integration within and between countries, in the educational or e-Health area.
