| Abstract(in English) | Recently, many immersive projection displays have been developed as display devices for virtual reality. At the same time, the broad band network services have rapidly come into wide use. Some immersive projection displays are connected with each other by a broad band network. A number of experiments of cooperative work are reported in a shared virtual environment using immersive projection displays. A video avatar is proposed as a method to realize high presence of communication in an immersive projection display. However, it is not easy for a user to recognize positional relationship between users and to operate his avatar, when the avatar's movement is not based on user's position. In this report, we propose a method to present a video avatar which follows user's movement by tracking user's position using active cameras and empirically verify the effectiveness of this method. |
