Tele-immersive Environments for EVErybody, or TEEVE, is a system that’s being test-driven simultaneously across thousands of miles in the labs of Klara Nahrstedt, a computer science professor at the University of Illinois, and Ruzena Bajcsy, a professor of computer science at the University of California at Berkeley.
TEEVE is an application that captures images using 3-D camera clusters, making it possible for people to view their counterparts at remote sites from all angles in their full body size.
“With TEEVE we want to allow distributed artists such as dancers to train, design new choreography and experiment with different movements in the cyberspace,” Nahrstedt said, noting that TEEVE’s relatively low price tag would be of special interest to artists, who typically struggle to produce their work with limited funding.
This application can be used not only for performing distributed physical activities such as dancing, learning sports and physical therapy exercises, but also traditional video conferencing.
Nahrstedt predicts that it will be at least five to six years before TEEVE and other tele-immersive 3-D multi-camera collaborative environments are routinely used in university or corporate settings.

video conferencing is making the people more professional in less time i guess and best way to learn something from the distance without any hassle and trouble .
