Implementation Requirements and System Architecture for Mixed Reality Telepresence Application Scenario

Abstract

With the advance of technology, human-to-human long distance communication becomes closer to real life-like experience. Cheap and easy to install 3D sensors, affordable virtual and mixed reality Head-Mounted Displays (HMD) are paving the way towards widespread usage. However, the present development in this direction is still infant and the lack of standards and recommendations are the main obstacle for off the shelf availability of such technology. Considering a specific case study, based on a controlled environment, we define the requirements for Mixed Reality Telepresence System (MRTS), propose the system architecture in terms of hardware and software ones and provide implementation details for each of the its components.
