The ViDe MPEG-4 Working Group was established in June 2000 and is chaired
by Ms. Mairéad Martin (University of Tennessee). This
Working Group believes MPEG-4 has the potential to greatly enhance
online learning, collaboration and resource sharing. While MPEG-4
technology and application development is in its infancy, we are
seeking opportunities to engage industry in partnerships that will
result in the creation of model MPEG-4 applications. Early MPEG-4
deployments in the higher educational domain, especially when realized
through private sector participation, will facilitate technology
transfer and replication beyond that domain, and thus will accelerate
the widespread adoption of the standard.
The goals of the ViDe MPEG-4 Working Group are:
identify industry partners interested in
collaborative MPEG-4 application development; ascertain the "state-of-the-art" of MPEG-4 technology
development; establish a base for and promote the adoption of MPEG-4 technologies
in higher education; and promote awareness of MPEG-4 in the academic community and
beyond.
