Abstract :
Cabin, an immersive projection display, is a room-sized, five-screen system that can display both computer graphics and video images. Several Cabins connected via a broadband network form the Cabinet system. Cabinet includes video avatars-a key new technology for sharing virtual worlds. Using video avatars, we have experimentally evaluated the ability to express positional information between distant users
