Abstract(in English) By subjective assessment, this report investigates the influences of network latency and packet loss on the fairness among multiple users in distributed virtual environments where the users have a conversation with each other by using voice and motions of avatars. As a result, experimental results show that most of users perceive unfairness when the difference in network latency between two terminals exceeds approximately 100 ms. Also, we demonstrate that we can estimate the value of MOS with high accuracy from the difference in network latency and the packet loss rate.
