| Abstract(in English) | FreeWalk is a desktop meeting system to support casual meetings just like chatting at a coffee break. FreeWalk provides a 3-D community common where everybody can meet and can behave just as they do in real life. Each participant is represented as a pyramid of 3-D polygons on which his/her live video is mapped, and has a location and a view direction. He/she can move and turn freely. Voice volume is inversely proportional to the distance between sender and receiver so that many participants can talk without confusion. Various behaviors have been noted so far, such as approaching a talking couple from a distance to secretly listen to their conversation. |
