Title: From Quality of Service to Quality of Experiences in 3D Tele-immersive Environments

 Klara Nahrstedt

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Abstract: We are seeing a rapid growth of 3D tele-immersive environments over the last decade with applications ranging from health care, training to entertainment. Despite their intensity of user-involved interactions, existing evaluation frameworks of these 3D teleimmersive environments remain mostly system-centric, utilizing Quality of Service (QoS) evaluation metrics. Over the last few years we are also seeing intensified efforts towards experience-centric approaches, utilizing Quality of Experience (QoE) evaluation metrics. However, the journey towards experience-centric evaluation of tele-immersive environments is very challenging due to (a) multi-modal media in tele-immersive environments, (b) multitude of underlying end-to-end networking and computational technologies, and (c) diverse human activities conducted and experienced in these immersive spaces.

In this talk we discuss the challenges and approaches to evaluate tele-immersive environments, including diverse tele-immersive services and their mediated human experiences; transformations from system-centric to experience-centric evaluation frameworks; and experiential dependencies on activities and psychophysics in tele-immersive spaces. Based on selected tele-immersive systems in the multimedia community, we present promising findings to sketch next steps towards future evaluation frameworks of experiential tele-immersive environments.
