  1. Engaging Technolog(ies) for Effective Interaction Jeremy R. Cooperstock Centre for Intelligent Machines McGill University Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Music Media and TechnologyMcGill University

  2. Ultra-Videoconferencing • Shared Reality • Intelligent Classrooms A Brief Roadmap

  3. Jef Raskin“Graphical User Interfaces are not human-compatible.” Inspiration Mark Weiser“The most profound technologies are those that disappear.”

  4. Classroom Technology

  5. “High-tech” touch-screen control…

  6. context-sensitive volume control motor controls light controls Simplified button control

  7. I don’t want to control all of that!

  8. Solution: Intelligent Classroom “Reactive” Technology • room senses events…. • and responds automatically

  9. left right Full-featured button panel

  10. Simplifying Lecture Capture

  11. What about the cameraman?

  12. Student Questionnaires • technology viewed favourably by most users • 2000-01: • 90 survey responses, 83% positive • 2002-03: • 115 survey responses, 77% positive • (most negative comments related to technical problems) • 2003-04: • 110 survey responses, 85% positive

  13. Videoconferencing: the past(AT&T PicturePhone – 1956)

  14. Videoconferencing: the future?Zack Snyder’s “Online Jam”, October 2001

  15. yeah, right! For those with DSL at home...

  16. You don’t say! "As depicted in the spot, it's a bit of a stretch for the home consumer to run that instantaneously and smoothly; that's more the realm of the professional musician…. there's a little more to it than just going on the net."

  17. "Playing Together" experimentNew York-Ottawa, Remote Masters class, Dec. 8, 2000 Pinchas Zuckerman, Columbia U, NYC Wu Ji, Canarie ARDNOC, Ottawa

  18. or put another way... Latency:The Interaction-Killer

  20. Distributed Violin DuetMcGill-Université de Montréal for RISQnet Conference, Nov. 21, 2001

  21. "The medium is the message" - Marshall McLuhan Cooperstock's Corollary: "The medium must be faster than the message.” * * but between protocol deficiencies (TCP, UDP), competing data flows, process scheduling on a budget, ARQ (retransmission management) without QoS, interface HW/SW “uncooperativeness”, aggressive router policies, multi-format support, echo suppression, and interface complexity… it’s much more than just the medium

  22. Note:look of anguish

  23. The BrassMontreal-Ottawa (NRC) Trial with Pace Sturdevant, February 2, 2002

  24. Violin Masters ClassMontreal-Ottawa (NRC) Trial with Pinchas Zuckerman, Feb. 20, 2002

  25. Size does matter

  26. Distributed Jazz JamMontreal-Stanford (CCRMA), Research Demonstration, Oct. 24, 2002

  27. Remote Video Interpretation (Sign Language)Montreal-Fredericton (UNB), research trials, 2003 physician's setup patient's setup

  28. Shared Reality and Shared Spaces: Toward Immersive Telepresence

  29. Vibrosensory TransmissionVRQ demo, March 8, 2004

  30. … and another application

  31. Next Steps: Multi-screen High-DefFunded by Canarie’s Advanced Applications Program

  32. Conference Room Configuration

  33. New challenge: Real-time mosaicing

  34. Sample Result: Can your camera do this?

  35. And going deep under…Funded by Canarie’s Intelligent Infrastructure Program and NEPTUNE
