Placeholder for Marjorie Skubic from U Missouri. Demo requirements and description coming soon. Expect this to require static IPs and ~350 Mbps wired connection.

One-sentence layman's description:

This demo shows a working prototype of a virtual reality based system to train students/trainees in the field of Solar and Wind Energy.

Who should see this demo?

Attendees interested in cloud based virtual reality applications, workforce development, and green energy should see this demo.

Demo description paragraph(s):

The demo will introduce a scalable and transferable cloud-based virtual reality pedagogical ecosystem that provides learners with the relevant skills in the area of solar and wind energy, and associated environmental engineering.

The VR based system described here provides an innovative approach to green energy and environmental engineering education/training requirements by alleviating the need for a substantial investment in terms of equipment, facilities, lab space, field trips, and personnel.

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.
