3 What is Telepresence? Telepresence refers t the degree f realism created by a telecmmunicatins system. A high degree f Telepresence causes users t feel like they are physically present at the far end f the cnnectin; r that the far end is physically present in the lcal envirnment.

4 Wider Bandwidth Speech and Spatial Audi Telephny create a high degree f Telepresence + Wider bandwidth speech Spatial audi telephny = Telepresence The Fully Netwrked Car

5 Telepresence dem Try t hear what Rd (red shirt) is saying in the fllwing vide clips: Current telephny Vide: Standard Definitin 15 fps frame rate Audi: Narrwband ( Hz) Mn Telepresence system Vide: High Definitin 30 fps frame rate Audi: Super-wideband ( Hz) Stere The Fully Netwrked Car

6 Telepresence systems imprve speech cmprehensin Speech cmprehensin is mre effrtless Better separatin f speech frm nise Mre cues t identity f speech sunds The Fully Netwrked Car

7 Telepresence systems reduce Driver Distractin Less attentin used t cmprehend speech Reduced lad n wrking memry Less fatigue One-way vide can reduce talking frm far end during high driver wrklad The Fully Netwrked Car

9 Mbile Wideband Deplyment Orange has already started deplying wideband ( Hz) n mbile netwrks in Eurpe WIND mbile started prviding wideband service in February 2011 in Canada Verizn recently annunced that it will start ffering wideband with VLTE starting in 2012 AT&T is reprted t start deplying in 2013 wideband speech has finally arrived n mbile netwrks and usage will dramatically increase ver the next cuple f years The Fully Netwrked Car

10 Everyday terminals are being enabled with Telepresence The Fully Netwrked Car

11 Availability f IP netwrks is increasing Experts agree that next generatin netwrks will be IP-based LTE will enable VIP ver mbile carrier netwrks Bradband access t the hme is anther way VIP availability is increasing WiFi htspts may als increase due t demand fr VIP The Fully Netwrked Car

12 Lack f standards slwing deplyment f Telepresence In the shrt-term, telepresence will ften be limited t devices f the same type Challenges t be addressed thrugh standardizatin 1) Functins and services ffered by telepresence systems 2) Speech cmmunicatins perfrmance assessment 3) Signalling and negtiatin f cnnectin type 4) Signal capture/playback crdinatin (taking device and envirnment dependencies int accunt) 5) Signal transprt Mn signal with spatial inf transmitted ut-f-band Multiple independent channels Multi-channel cdec The Fully Netwrked Car

15 Cnclusins There are cmpelling reasns fr deplying Telepresence systems in an autmtive envirnment Better user experience Less listening effrt Reduced driver distractin Vehicles platfrms are well psitined fr cnversin int telepresence terminals VIP terminals and IP netwrk availability increasing Standards grups are starting t address radblcks t widespread adptin f Telepresence systems The Fully Netwrked Car
