Bob McCandless, BrightCom
- Goals for telepresence ... want to be indistinguishable from reality.
- Challenges ... cost, quality, bandwidth, gaze correction
- Perspective corrected viewing ... requires multiple camera ... but it requires a huge-amount of bandwidth.
- After TelePresence is immersive video conferencing ... will be fully rendered to look like your own office
- Will require some new screen technologies
- Research by Microsoft ... a real person vs. real time rendering
- Going to a Second Life island ... and take real-time video into Second Life
- Once you move into a rendered world, you can do interesting things. You haven't got to photo-realism, but that technology is coming.
- Rendering an immersive world solves the bandwidth problem.
- Chad was helping Bob from BrightCom.
Question 1. Can we talk via audio conferencing in the BrightCom thing?
Bob ... yes, it is a majo
Irene Greif, IBM Research
Talking about Many Eyes, the power of collaborative visualization. See Many Eyes.
Why am I showing you this? There were 10s of thousands of blogs about the initial work on this.
- intuitive and dynamic user experience
- naturally draws up different perspectives ... people type in their own names first ... so people find things
Generated through to social data analysis ... generalizing from Baby Name Wizard to Many Eyes.
- many easy to use visualization tools
- discussion through bookmarks and annotation
- individuals have a personal incentive ... users upload data for their own use
Many Eyes web site ... visualizations to explore, data sets, upload new data sets, various types of visualizations

Presented on widgets for the enterprise; but I was distracted doing something else. Sorry Dennis.
I really liked this session because we get a peek at some of the wild ideas that may never become anything more, but are interesting nonetheless. My notes on this session at http://column2.com/2007/06/enterprise-20-from-the-labs/
