Abstract(in English) Previously, we proposed a new method how to construct three dimensional figure of humans and objects in a virtual environment. The process of this method is so simple - to select, scale and reconstruct scanning lines of several cameras rolling around an real object - that it can be realized by simple hardware. By applysing this method to the tele-conference system that we previously reported, - named "mutual tele-existence" - plural humans at the distance can exchange photo-realistic images of themselves with one another in real time. In this paper, we illustrate a prototype using a linear actuator as an implementation of the image synthesis method.
