The National Science Foundation Division of Information and Intelligent Systems awarded New Jersey Institute of Technology $250,000 on October 1, 2026, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) for collaborative research on semantic encoding and sensor-driven communication for privacy-preserving multi-site virtual reality systems. The project develops methods to transmit only the most relevant information while protecting user data, enabling virtual reality access in areas with limited connectivity. Work is organized into three interconnected tasks: semantic-aware transmission methods coupled with neural enhancement to recover rich content from limited data; integrated sensing and communication to track user motion and environment changes in real time and adapt communication accordingly; and privacy-preserving computation methods including client-side filtering and secure distributed processing for multi-site virtual reality. System-level designs explore performance, reliability, privacy, and security tradeoffs. The award funds research at Newark, New Jersey. Performance runs through September 30, 2029. This is an international collaborative project bringing together investigators from Portland State University, New Jersey Institute of Technology, and Linkoping University.
