2. Center for Creative Use of Tele-Immersive Technology The people who work in this center are: Computer Scientists, dancers, Computer Graphics and psychologists. We will contribute software to anybody who is willing to buy bunch of cameras in order to setup a vision-based collaboration. We will be organizing performances to demonstrate the progress in the technology and the usage for creative dancing of this technology. Next fall we will have an undergraduate seminar in which we will cover the issues of presence in the new media world and teach students how to use our facilities. We view tele-immersion as a means of communicating across the country via body motion (hence the dance paradigm)
