A Motion Prediction Algorithm for Distributed Interactive Applications

In this project, we propose to develop a motion prediction algorithm for distributed interactive applications to address the network latency problem of the Internet. In our earlier work, we developed two short-term motion predictors, one for predicting 3D navigation and the other for predicting hand motion. However, these methods have an optimal performance when the prediction length, i.e., how far ahead in time that we need to predict, is no longer than 0.5 second. In this work, we propose to augment a short-term prediction algorithm with prediction results from a long-term prediction algorithm to improve the prediction accuracy and to extend the prediction length.
