Networking – Anthony Steed

Secondment with EA

On this secondment with EA I worked on procedural destruction, character animation and model management. Discussions on networking were valuable in developing my Networked Graphics book.

Presenccia

jdobos — Sun, 23 Nov 2014 19:06:58 +0000

With 14 EU partners. A programme of experimental work on presence bridging to neuroscience.

At University College London we are responsible for a number components of the PRESENCCIA project. In particular, we are involved with the creation of a distributed persistent mixed reality environment that includes the UCL immersive virtual reality system and ADA, which is physically located in Barcelona. The eventual aim to that a person in the UCL CAVE-like environment will be able to see and interact with people in ADA and with other virtual characters producing an online community. The goal is to develop and explore the possibilities of a persistent mixed reality space, which includes innovative interface systems such as Ada and the Cave, and is inhabited by remote people represented as avatars and autonomous virtual characters.

BEAMING

Today, in spite of advanced video conferencing, shared virtual environments, and gaming environments such as Second Life, it is still simply much more efficient to physically travel to remote location for business, scientific or family meetings—even if at a huge environmental, energetic and opportunity cost.

The science and technology developed in BEAMING will for the first time give people a real sense of physically being in a remote location with other people, and vice versa—without actually travelling.

Visionair is a 24-partner European research programme with goals to facilitate trans-national research within the EU, to better utilise available research facilities, and to create a dedicated visualisation research infrastructure across the partner countries. UCL is a prominent partner in the project, and has hosted 8 trans-national research visits (TNAs) from researchers in 5 different countries since 2012.
