We had an undergraduate work on DOME until the end of the spring semester. We continue to use DOME to offer Internet access on the UMass buses, and we have begun to collect statistics on usage. We are in discussions with the UMass Pioneer Valley Transit Authority (UMass PVTA) regarding the development of a service that would use text messaging (SMS) and DOME's GPS bus tracking to provide estimated bus arrival times to riders.

One-sentence layman's description: This demo shows a working prototype of a next generation communication system using 3D video and force feedback devices.

Who should see this demo? Attendees interested in real-time applications demonstrating use of Kinect cameras, 3D rendering and force feedback devices.

Demo description paragraph(s): This demo has two identical systems located in (virtually) remote locations. The purpose of this demo is to show an application that demands high bandwidth and multi-modal communication between two remote systems. The application we choose is 3D Tele-Rehabilitation. The goal of the application is to virtually recreate a physical therapy session between a patient and a therapist. The 3D models of the two participants are captured using a 3D Camera that is available off the shelf (Microsoft Kinect v2.0). These 3D models are placed in a shared virtual environment of our choosing. To simulate the physical touch part of a physical therapy session we use a Haptic force- feedback device, the data from which is also transmitted to and fro to create a force feedback element in the virtual environment. This application is just an example of what can be achieved with a next generation networks/protocols that support high bandwidth and low latency communication.
