Vgate is a new immersive environment that allows full-body immersion and interaction with virtual worlds. It is a join initiative of computer scientists from computer vision, parallel computing and computer graphics from the INRIA Grenoble Rhône-Alpes Lab and the 4D View Solutions company.

Vgate virtualizes users into graphical objects that capture shapes and appearances in real time and can be plugged in any virtual reality application. This environment provides tools for new interactive and immersive experiences, including telepresence applications when users are on distant sites.
