LOLA is an advanced videoconferencing system developed by Conservatorio G. Tartini in Trieste (Italy) in collaboration with GARR, the Italian Research and Education Network: the system has a very low audio/video embedded latency (a few milliseconds) which allows real time human interaction across advanced networks like GEANT, Internet and the european NRENs: furthermore LOLA provides a very high quality multichannel audio service, and no video compression, which transport the presence of the remote participants in a very effective way, making it seem 'a natural local presence' to users. LOLA thus allows for real time musical performances where musicians are thousands of miles away from each other, but also any other performing art can benefit from the system, and also any activity requiring very tight interaction (like remote surgery for example) can use the system. There is still work in progress in the application, and we will also present the roadmap, and further possible collaborations with it.
Speakers: Claudio Allocchio, Gill Davies
