"A videoconference or video conference (also known as a videoteleconference) is a set of interactive telecommunication technologies which allow two or more locations to interact via two-way video and audio transmissions simultaneously."
The TELEPORT environment is designed
to overcome disadvantages of desktop videoconferencing and to establish
life-like conference sessions that bring people together as if face-to-face.
The system consists of a real room with one wall entirely covered b a display
surface. Onto that surface a virtual extension of the real room is projected.
As the local participant moves, his location is tracked thus allowing
the synthetic scene to be rendered with the correct perspective.
