What exactly is your application (and your budget)?
For videoconferencing, musical-instrument-playing (as in your example), or multiplayer video games with less latency than the speed of light appears to allow, you could take advantage of Libet's work (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroscience_of_free_will http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroscience_of_free_will) showing that with neural interfaces you can reliably predict people's physical actions hundreds of milliseconds before they actually do it … which would give you hundreds of milliseconds to send off the signal and get a response which you play back to them "instantly" when they perform the action.
- tsenkov 12y agoI haven't started anything, but I always wanted to be able to have a band not restricted to the local pool of musicians and this is what made me think about it. So I started looking for a solution, I found about the Internet2 project and when I saw that they should be pretty close to the theoretical limit, I decided to check what that limit really is. That's when I realized that I probably couldn't do this for any earth-distance without any prediction of data.
