While the present provides a current and immediate interpretation of our surroundings and enables immediate decisions, historical data enables post-mortem analysis of an incident as well as a foreshadowing of future events that can in turn afect the context upon which current decisions depend. Achieving context awareness therefore requires extraction, capture, and interpretation of multiple modes of information from different temporal and spatial contexts. Contextualization of this data involves embedding the information into a single familiar virtual environment to assist a human operator in making sense of the volumes of collected sensory data. This paper details a prototype system we are developing to facilitate future context awareness research as well as support, integrate, and augment existing context focused research developed in our laboratory. The core modules of the system are described including the Networked Sensor Tapestry (NeST) architecture for sensor integration, processing, and context archiving and querying with a focus on the Context Visualization Environment (CoVE): a 3D environment for visual fusion of multimodal sensor data. Several real-world applications are presented that are built on top of these components.","PeriodicalId":224936,"journal":{"name":"ACM SIGMM workshop on Experiential Telepresence","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116244182","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Instead of performing complex 3D scene acquisition, we decided to trade storage/hardware for computation, i.e., using more cameras. While it is expensive to directly capture a scene from all possible viewpoints, we observed that the participants' viewpoints usually remain at a constant height (eye level) during video teleconferencing. Therefore we can restrict the possible viewpoint to be within a virtual plane without sacrificing much of the realism. Doing so signicantly reduces the number of cameras required. We demonstrate a realtime system that uses a linear array of cameras to perform Light-Field style rendering. The simplicity and robustness of light fielding rendering, combined with the natural restrictions of limited view volume in video teleconferencing, allow us to synthesize photo-realistic views persuser request at interactive rate.","PeriodicalId":224936,"journal":{"name":"ACM SIGMM workshop on Experiential Telepresence","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133627775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

(It is also interesting to consider whether an ultimate test can ever be performed.) Rapid advances in materials science and computational power are bringing about new approaches to immersive user interfaces.
