Résumé

In a face-to-face conversation, only 10 % of the message is conveyed by words, the remaining 90 % is carried via vocal pitch, emphasis, facial expressions, body language, and other related factors. The challenge for future telecommunication systems will be to bridge the shortcomings of our current voice-orientated systems. Video conferencing and live chats are replacing our traditional forms of communication. Worldwide telecommunications networks are being redesigned to provide new multimedia services. The goal of this book is to bring together end users, service providers and researchers from academia as well as the communications industry to share state-of-the-art information on projects, products, services, and processes for future virtual reality (VR) telecommunications systems. Virtual Reality Technologies for Future Telecommunications Systems features:

today' s telecommunications systems and services - problems and limitations
a guide to employing VR in telecommunications networks
cutting edge research & rare insights into experimental VR telecommunications systems and services
aspects and challenges of the emerging technologies (user interface design, user behaviour, computational complexity, high-speed Internet)

Researchers, network planners or engineers and visualisation engineers will find this edited volume useful and inspiring. The goal of the future is nothing less than electronic communication involving all five human senses. ContentsPART 1 INTRODUCTION: WHY VIRTUAL REALITY FOR TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS?
