A Multi-Peer, Low Cost Immersive Communication System for Pandemic Times

We present our multi-peer, low cost immersive communication system which targets to virtually bring people closer to each other during the current self-isolation situation consequence of the pandemic outbreak. Our fully immersive conferencing system allows remote users to virtually teleport where the media capturing system is placed and interact in real-time with other local users present there. This is achieved by a fully mobile, accessible and simple to use system specifically designed to ease the use even for the less experienced users. We accomplish this by avoiding any complex 3D user interface, allowing the remote users to directly connect to the currently active session by just running the application. Furthermore, we also allow the users to share content between each other in a very seamless manner, improving the virtual collaboration tools available in the state of the art.
