8 Roadmap Scenarios WG s collected 72 Scenarios A value in itself Is considered to be conserved in the Knowledge Base 8

9 Example Application Types Content activity Animated Environments Simulation, 3D TV Evaluation, Analysis Market research, CAD Evaluation Ergonomic Analysis Story Telling Edutainment Monitoring and Control Computational Steering, Telepresence Complete Interaction with Dynamic Content Games, Functional prototyping Training Behavior, Ergonomics, Treatment Presentation (multisensoric) Styling Review, CAD Review, SciVis, InfoVis Communication Virtual Meeting Object and Content Creation Shape Creation, Planning User activity 9

11 VR/VE Barriers Highlights Simulation technology (hard and software) in necessary accuracy not real-time capable and vice versa Bandwidth not sufficient (resolution, contrast, accuracy, ) Usability (Unencumbered use of equipment impossible, no 3D-interaction-standards, ) New interfaces break with learned habits Lacking interoperability: data, applications, workflow, standards No valid general ROI evaluation 11

12 VR/VE Drivers Highlights Industry Request still there (Thank you!) Mass Market enters Game 3D-TV 3D Communities Visualisation is de-facto standard in communication 3D data is collected more and more (model creation wont be an issue in the future, but composing) Compute power still follows Moores Law (but how long?) 12

13 Research Areas Interface Technologies Components of multimodal interfaces Multimodal systems Content Technologies Realistic behaviour of VE s Representation of real and virtual humans Content creation and management System Integration Technologies Data integration in external systems or processes Interoperability Interaction Generic spatial interaction Application specific interactions Human Factors Basic Research Ergonomics and Design 13

14 Structuring the Field Interaction Concepts Multimodal Input Tracking Devices Speech Application Domain Knowledge, Domain specific integration Integration System Architectures, Sensor Fusion, Synchronization,... Content Technology Real-time Dynamics Intelligent Avatars Adaptive Worlds Multi Sensor Display Visual Audio Olfactoric Evaluation Technology Computing (ICT) Networking, OS, Compute Power 14

15 VR as Integration Point Seamless integration of user in information environment Integrated hardware and software interface Successful system has to master both Many different components => complex system Content SW-Interface HW-Interface Workplace 15

16 VR as Integration Point Mechanics Ergonomics Projection systems Electronics Hardware Devices Electronics Application Virtual Reality System Networking Device Driver Application development 3D-Data handling 3D-GUI-design Real-time VR-core-software Operating Software 16

17 Where do we go tomorrow? Toshiba 17

18 Roadmap Topics Integration Social Environment Workflow Physical Environment Integration - Interoperability Data Functionality Interaction Paradigms ICT Environment System 18

19 Roadmap Summary The Necessary : Integration - Data, Processes and Interfaces The Obvious : Improvement of existing technologies in terms of bandwidth (resolution, color-depth,...), accuracy and robustness More dynamic, physically correct, consistent and reactive real-time content Authoring and content management tools Still not solved or just started: True 3D interaction Immersive collaboration is important, but not well explored beyond shared view Surprisingly not much requested: BCI or neural interfaces 19

20 Updated roadmap Consensus on priority listing Knowledge Base WGs cross contribution March
