Abstract :
In this demonstration, we present a prototype networked collaborative environment. This prototype supports audiovisual communication among several terminals. The voice is transmitted over the network and used to animate 3D avatars that represent the users in a virtual environment. Intelligent interfaces create a virtual environment in which users can interact with the sense of immersion
