TMS Simplified Type
By simply placing a simple TMS model in the classroom, the online side can remotely control the camera and actively participate in the class.
With the cooperation of students whose courses overlap, they can be transported from classroom to classroom and participate in classes remotely without preparation by the instructor.
TMS universal type
Under construction...
Scheduled to be completed in July 2023
All the necessary equipment for online meetings/classes is included and operates without the need for a power supply. It can be used for online meetings/campus tours while on the move, outdoor HyFlex events, remote classes between classrooms and overseas, and many other applications.
Project Summary
terminology
Telepresence."is a technology that creates the sensation (presence) of a person in a remote location as if he or she were there.
Mobile.is a device or system that is portable and can be used on the move by using rechargeable batteries and wireless communications.
Telepresence Mobile System (TMS)is a battery-powered system for conducting remote classes and meetings that combines the above two concepts. We plan to consider a more familiar name for the system as it is developed and improved and as examples of its use are accumulated.
PTZ Camerais a camera that can be freely rotated horizontally (pan), vertically (tilt), zoomed in and out, etc., by remote control.
Six ways to use TMS at the University
TMS is a system to enhance "presence" (=telepresence) by projecting online participants' faces at near life-size and reproducing their "line of sight" with PTZ cameras, while freeing remote classes and remote meetings from the "room" (=mobile).
The following areas are being considered for use in each of the goals of the University's "Fourth Medium-Term Goals and Plans".
