Abstract
By using virtual reality technology, a communication system with realistic sensation can be implemented. This enables the user to see live images of a remote place without losing his/her sense of orientation. The most important element of this system is a buffering mechanism to overcome the time-delay problem which is harmful when trying to generate the realistic sensations of a remote place. Also, by adding 3D cues to the virtual dome (although not so accurate) 3-D sensation can be sufficiently synthesized
