ABSTRACT
Games, multimedia, and reality are on a converging path as motion capture, 3d video, and high performance networking and computing become more affordable and common place with consumers. Next generation video game systems are planning on including many aspects of motion capture and facial recognition algorithms. As such, we present an analysis of system issues surrounding the amalgamation of these technologies in the future and then propose a system architecture where augmented reality can become a part of our every day learning, computation, and gaming. We conclude with a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of our design.

GauthierDickey describes an interesting and challenging architecture that allows multiple users to interact in collaborative and entertaining ways. The proposed multimedia system architecture consists of an authentication component, a sensor layer, computational infrastructure, and an output layer. Moreover, it involves authentication, processing, and interactions. The main results identify the challenges in the proposed system. The architecture's computational services are related to the stream processing required for several multimedia streams, which must be processed, analyzed, and forwarded to remote locations. This position paper should interest the multimedia streaming and Internet of things communities. Online Computing Reviews Service
