ABSTRACT:
A method for creating visual telepresence for a large number of simultaneous users includes the step of simultaneously and continuously processing sets of images from a plurality of cameras to produce sets of short visual sequences that provide for virtual short movements in the environment. Additional steps include routing these many simultaneous repetitive short sequences to a plurality of user service processes. These short sequences are then composed into continuous video streams that provide convincing visual display of telepresence to many simultaneous users.
