This vision is facilitated by recent advances in 3D video and audio capture and reconstruction capabilities. What is missing are three things : real time calibration of lighting and the subsequent acount of illumination and camera adgustment; content based adaptive data compression; adaptive optimal resource allocation considering data acqusition/processng,data display, and newtork capabilities including delays and latency, ALL in REAL time.

In the past, rule changes at a central office -- e.g., the IRS, or the headquarters for a corporation -- were incorporated slowly into practice. With expert systems, the people making the decisions have the benefit of codified knowledge bases that reflect current policy and practices. Research on expert systems began in the 1970's with support from DARPA, the National Institutes of Heath, and NSF. Expert systems have subsequently become an essential part of the IT toolkit for every major company. Help desks, credit checking and equipment troubleshooting are examples of systems that have been replicated many times over and are routinely saving money for business and public institutions.
