HARVEST: A framework for HAptic, inteRactive Virtual EnvironmentS for Tele-presence
FY 2007-08
Summary
The main goal of this research project is to design and implement a framework for HAptic, inteRactive VirtualEnvironmentS for Tele-presence (HARVEST), that would efficiently support and manage Haptic Audio VisualEnvironments (HAVE) in a tele-presence context on the Internet. HAVE-based network-intensive applicationsrequire specific support at the transport and application layer, and it is our goal to provide such support. Inproposing HARVEST, our goal is to design, implement, and deploy an integrated framework on bothhigh-speed Intranets and the Internet, based on recent and emerging concepts such as Haptic "Dead-Reckoning"(prediction), application layer multicasting, and HAVE transport protocols, while providing Area of InterestManagement and Distributed Data Management to enable real-time HAVE Tele-Presence applications forgroups of users participating in distributed and interactive simulations. The technology can be used in diverseapplications such as modeling & animation, geophysical analysis, dentistry training, virtual museums, assemblyplanning, mine design, surgical simulation, design evaluation, control of scientific instruments, gaming, androbotic simulation and manipulation in hazardous environments.
