Abstract(in English) Communications in immersive projection displays connected with each other by broad band network attract a great deal of attention. A video avatar is one of those communication method with high lively image. In a immersive projection display, like CABIN, it is presented as the proxy of other users and its image is based on a real live image of other users. However, it comes into question that video avatar system restrict user's wide motion by its narrow view of a camera. This paper describes the method of making a video avatar which can be obsearved from various directions. In this study, we developed the way how to expand view by camera tracking and how to get avatar images from video images in changeable background elements.
