Telios

Telepresence Interactive Operating System

Calit2@UCI researchers are developing Telios (Telepresence Interactive Operating System) – a software package that transforms computers, laptops and personal computing devices into user-friendly, real-time teleconferencing and telemedicine tools. Because the system is constructed on the powerful Web 2.0 platform, it works with all architectures, including Windows, Linux and Mac, as well as Web-enabled cell phones.

Telios supports full multimedia and rich graphical interfaces, and requires no configuration or software installation. It delivers video conferencing, instrument telemetry, data acquisition and control - all in real time. Telios enables monitoring and control of remote devices, such as heart-rate monitors, blood pressure monitors, glucose monitors, weight scales, and motion sensors.

This next-generation system enables users to easily access advanced telepresence features. Calit2 researchers are developing several versions including Telios Connect, Telios Home and Telios Standard. Each version is configured for different applications such as a medical cart, home entertainment system or portable videoconferencing.
