“…However, body-worn networked computing devices are suited to many applications and the impact on personal communications will be significant. For example, a networked wearable computer can behave as a mobile phone, audio graphic conferencing terminal, a video conference terminal or as a virtual conferencing terminal (Walker and Sheppard, 1997). Let us not forget the mobile phone itself, the most widely used, networked wearable on the planet.…”

The world of telecommunications is being rapidly redefined by the Internet. Longer-term trends show that mobile, networked computers will form the basis of the future of personal communications. Not only is the telephone handset becoming mobile, by defauit, but the boundary between phone and computer is set to disappear. Networks for mobile devices are also changing fast, within the next five years the global mobile network will support megabit rather than the current kilobit connections. In summary most phones are becoming mobile, phones are becoming computers and the underlying network is becoming a fast global TCP/IP network

“…Retomando-se a definição de telepresença como uma forma de telecomunicação que possibilita a uma pessoa ou mais pessoas interagir à distância com outras pessoas ou objetos reais, com a sensação de estar presente no local (Walker;Sheppard, 1997) As imagens adquiridas devem sofrer correções, transformações, alinhamentos, costuras e projeções adequados para exibição no ambiente imersivo.…”

Gostaria de agradecer à Profa. Dra. Roseli de Deus Lopes, minha orientadora, pela confiança em mim depositada, pela paciência com que me orientou, pelos conselhos que ofereceu durante esta fase de minha vida e principalmente pela amizade, que sempre permeou o nosso contato acadêmico. Ao Prof. Dr. Marcelo Knorich Zuffo, coordenador dos projetos da CAVERNA Digital® * da Escola Politécnica da USP, que foi um co-orientador de fato, apoiando-me e fornecendo recursos para a elaboração de meu projeto. Ao Dr. Celso Setsuo Kurashima, com quem desenvolvi parte do projeto do anel de câmeras, que sempre me incentivou a melhorá-lo, fornecendo críticas e sugestões. Aos pesquisadores Marcio Calixto Cabral, Olavo da Rosa Belloc e Victor H. P. Gomes, que ofereceram suporte técnico no manejo dos equipamentos da CAVERNA Digital® da EPUSP e também auxiliaram na programação dos módulos que compõem este projeto. Ao pesquisador Dr. Luciano Pereira Soares, pelo apoio no início do desenvolvimento do projeto. Ao pesquisador Hilton Garcia Fernandes, pela sugestão de biblioteca de compressão JPEG e pelo apoio na implementação das rotinas da biblioteca ezJ. Aos demais colegas do Laboratório de Sistemas Integráveis da EPUSP, em especial aos da CAVERNA Digital® e do NATE (Núcleo de Aprendizagem, Trabalho e Entretenimento), pela ajuda em muitas das etapas da elaboração do projeto. Por fim, mas não menos importante, agradeço à Maria do Carmo, ao Yuri e à Natasha, pelo apoio e pela paciência com que me agraciaram durante toda esta empreitada. _________________________ * O LSI-EPUSP projetou, construiu e mantém o primeiro sistema de Realidade Virtual (RV) com múltiplas projeções estereoscópicas, da América Latina, denominada CAVERNA Digital®.

“…It involves only the transmission of speech between two parties and richer information such as visual content is absent. However, telephony is a well-established telepresence service [13] that enables geographically separated callers to perceive each other's presence through the extension of human speech and hearing. For example, when a user calls a telephone helpline, service personnel can provide a remedy to a technical issue, even if the technician is miles away.…”

First, I would like to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude to my supervisor, Prof. Gerald Seet, for his guidance and inspiring suggestions throughout my doctoral studies. His patience and insistent nudging me towards completion have been most helpful for the development of this dissertation. I would also like to thank the members of my thesis advisory committee, Prof. Cai Yiyu and Prof. Yeo Song Huat for their insightful comments and discussions. The School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the Nanyang TechnologicalUniversity deserves a special thank you for providing a conducive environment in which I can maintain my full-time job and still work to complete the degree. I wish to thank Mr.Lim Eng Cheng, Mr. You Kim San and Ms. Agnes Tan from the Robotics Research Centre.They have provided me with much technical and administrative support during this study.In addition, I am grateful to all fellow research staff, as well as research students and undergraduates, who have helped me with the experiments. I especially want to thank Mr.Burhan for building a series of MAVEN robots and Mr. Hendra Suratno Tju for debugging my code, as well as Dr. William Gu for sharing his programming experience with me. I am also indebted to my family and friends for their love, support and understanding in my life. I wish to dedicate this work to the memory of my father. His unfailing faith in me has been my strength. I am most grateful to my sister, Ms. Pang Wee Ya and my mother. My deep appreciation also goes to my dearest friends, Ms. Francina Chan, Ms. Angela Wu and Ms. Liu Yimei for their constant encouragement and prayers.I owe my deepest gratitude to my wonderful husband and colleague, Dr. Wong Choon Yue, who is always around to encourage me and keep me sane.
