Abstract: | We present an approach to connect multiple remote environments over web for natural interaction among people and objects.
Focus of current communication and telepresence systems severely restrict user affordances in terms of movement, interaction,
peripheral vision, spatio-semantic integrity and even information flow. These systems allow information transfer rather than
experiential interaction. We propose Environment-to-Environment (E2E) as a new paradigm for communication which allows users
to interact in natural manner using text, audio, and video by connecting environments. Each Environment is instrumented using
as many different types of sensors as may be required to detect presence and activity of objects. This object position and
activity information is used by a scalable event-based multimodal information system called EventServer to share the appropriate
experiential information with other environments as well as to present incoming multimedia information on right displays and
speakers. This paper describes the design principles for E2E communication, discusses system architecture, and gives our experience
in implementing prototypes of such systems in telemedicine and office collaboration applications. We also discuss the research
challenges and a road-map for creating more sophisticated E2E applications in near future.
