SPIRIT

Immersive telepresence technologies will have groundbreaking impacts on interactions amongst individuals and machines in cyberspace in several vertical sectors, including education and training, healthcare, the manufacturing industry, etc. However, these technologies face critical limitations concerning the application platform and the underlying network support to achieve seamless presentation, processing and delivery of immersive telepresence content on a large scale. The EU-funded SPIRIT project will build on the existing TRL4 application platforms and network infrastructures developed by the project partners to address technical challenges and further develop all significant aspects of telepresence technologies to achieve targeted TRL7. The project will focus on network-layer, transport-layer, application/content-layer techniques, security and privacy mechanisms.
