The Future VR/AR Network -- Towards Virtual Human/Object Teleportation: NSF Workshop on Networked Virtual and Augmented Reality Communications

网络虚拟和增强现实（VR/AR）通信研讨会召集研究人员和从业人员，以确定快速发展的辅助现实技术网络领域的关键研究挑战。为期两天的研讨会将于2018年4月23日至24日在弗吉尼亚州水晶城举行，与会者将包括行业参与者，政府技术专家，以及代表网络，理论，系统和应用社区的学术计算机科学家和工程师。研讨会的目标是：（1）确定学术研究社区需要研究的关键技术问题;（2）建立长期愿景和相应的研究议程，以实现无处不在的网络VR/AR应用的未来;（3）增加研究社区对未来网络需求的理解，以支持这些应用;（4）识别与增强现实应用相关的新应用和社会效益。研讨会的结果将通过研讨会报告的出版物进行传播。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。

The Workshop on Networked Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR) Communications convenes researchers and practitioners to identify key research challenges in the rapidly developing area of networking for assisted-reality technologies. The 2-day event will be held in Crystal City, VA, on April 23-24, 2018, and attendees will include industry participants, government technologists, and academic computer scientists and engineers representing the networks, theory, systems, and applications communities.The goals of the workshop are to: (1) identify key technical problems for the academic research community to investigate; (2) establish a long-term vision and corresponding research agenda to realize the envisioned future of ubiquitous networked VR/AR applications; (3) increase research community understanding of the requirements for future networks to support these applications, and (4) identify new applications and societal benefits associated with augmented reality applications. Dissemination of workshop findings will be made through the publication of a workshop report.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
