According to researchers at the Integrated Media Systems (IMSC) ERC at the University of Southern California ( EEC-9529152), the “Immersive Internet” will dramatically change our world within this decade, transforming our two-dimensional world of computers, TV and film into immersive, three-dimensional environments in our own living rooms—or almost anywhere else. Through Immersipresence, a term coined by IMSC to describe these 3D immersive environments, remote live scenes will be transmitted by way of the Internet to augment the real environment. Key components developed this past year include: a Flow Scheduling Framework, a cornerstone of Media Immersion Environment (MIE) architecture which provides a unified, stream-oriented data and processing model of an Integrated Media System; Immersive Audio™, a method for creating and reusing animations in a way that is suited to a broad range of models; and Network Stream Reliability and Synchronization, which creates the network infrastructure on which to build a highly accurate, synchronized and loss-free platform for immersive applications and is a key enabler for several other technologies including MIE.
