3D tele-immersive collaborative environments are becoming a reality. The emerging tele-immersive (TI) technology empowers and enables collaborative interactions and a plethora of new applications among geographically distributed sites. TI technology allows creation of a cyber TI room, where geographically separated users can jointly perform physical activities such as dance or exercise. This project is working to take this vision further and allow users to participate in simultaneous TI sessions and to cyber-walk between TI rooms. To achieve the TI rooms vision, the underlying cyber-physical infrastructure must consider both (a) streams of 3D data as a first class object in its design and in its deployment, and (b) holistic end-to-end management of the multi-stream environments for each TI room. Hence, the project is developing a Holistic Multi-stream Environment for Distributed Immersive Applications (H-MEDIA). They will investigate (a) system architectures with correlated multi-streaming; (b) real-time virtualization of resources for resource isolation between individual TI rooms and switching (cyber-walk) between rooms; (c) end-to-end configurable, robust and fault-tolerant virtual networks for different rooms; and (d) adaptive configuration and system management that will yield customizable, stable, adaptable, available and robust individual TI rooms. H-MEDIA research will have impact on communities in computer science and also on medical, social science and other domains. The H-MEDIA project will also result in educational benefits such as involving graduate students research in very novel TI technologies, inclusion of undergraduate students, and impact on education in other disciplines such as new teaching of choreography in TI environments, as well as many others.

3D 远程沉浸式协作环境正在成为现实。新兴的远程沉浸式 (TI) 技术支持并实现地理分布站点之间的协作交互和大量新应用程序。 TI 技术允许创建网络 TI 房间，地理上分散的用户可以在其中共同进行物理活动，例如舞蹈或锻炼。该项目正在努力进一步实现这一愿景，并允许用户参与同步 TI 会议并在 TI 会议室之间进行网络行走。 为了实现 TI 房间的愿景，底层网络物理基础设施必须考虑 (a) 将 3D 数据流作为其设计和部署中的一流对象，以及 (b) 每个 TI 房间的多流环境的整体端到端管理。 因此，该项目正在开发分布式沉浸式应用程序的整体多流环境（H-MEDIA）。 他们将研究（a）具有相关多流的系统架构； (b) 资源实时虚拟化，用于各个 TI 房间之间的资源隔离以及房间之间的切换（网络行走）； (c) 不同房间的端到端可配置、稳健且容错的虚拟网络； (d) 自适应配置和系统管理，将产生可定制、稳定、适应性强、可用且强大的单独 TI 房间。 H-MEDIA 研究将对计算机科学界以及医学、社会科学和其他领域产生影响。 H-MEDIA 项目还将带来教育效益，例如让研究生参与非常新颖的 TI 技术的研究、本科生的参与以及对其他学科教育的影响，例如 TI 环境中的新编舞教学以及许多其他学科。
