Experiential Signal Processing (ESP) and Experiential Telecommunications (ET)

We define the research fields of experiential signal processing (ESP) and experiential telecommunications (ET), which are concerned with sensing, communicating, and presenting an Environment, Event, or Experience at a distance. We develop our vision of ESP and ET and describe key components and research fields. We highlight the challenges of presenting multichannel, multimedia information and present an example for panoramic video using the Allosphere, a 3-story sphere housed in an anechoic chamber, that has been constructed at UCSB.
