### 2.1.3 Remote Presence Researchers (S3)
|
|
|
In whatever form the prototype takes, it must allow sufficient scope for remote presence researchers to pursue novel and interesting technologies or applications that can achieve world-wide recognition with high quality publications. The researchers have technical expertise and so platform interface requirements are not such a priority, however, there must be sufficient flexibility in the architecture to allow new forms of analysis, visualisation, interaction, manipulation or sources of data. Some example research directions that these researchers may pursue are:
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Addition of further modalities such as smell, touch or taste
|
|
|
2. New display or visualisation technologies
|
|
|
3. Learning analytics and the effects of real-time feedback on remote presence activities
|
|
|
4. Intelligent scene framing of virtual cameras using diverse sources of information
|
|
|
5. Incorporation of mobile devices or other sensors
|
|
|
6. Use of specific virtual artefacts to augment reality for educational or training purposes
|
|
|
7. Blending of multiple physical and virtual scenes to investigate the effects of environments

## 2.2 DEPENDENCIES AND ASSUMPTIONS
|
|
|
We will rely, at least initially, on OpenCV and the Point Cloud Library. It is also assumed that we will not be using active depth sensors, although this should be a backup plan.
