“…The underlying assumption is be that the three‐dimensional (3D) immersion, sense of collocation, shared space, and natural photo‐realism offered by AR (VS. Virtual Reality) would be the key elements for the effective conveyance of information among the participants .…”

With the continued technology innovation in object sensing and human motion tracking, the traditional two-dimensional video-based tele-conference systems are projected to evolve into the three-dimensional immersive and augmented reality (AR) based on which one can communicate with the teleported remote other as if present, moving and interacting naturally in the same location. One technical hurdle to this vision is the need to resolve the environmental differences and the resulting teleported avatar motion anomaly between the remote and local sites. This paper presents a novel method to first establish a spatial and object-level match between the remote and local sites and adapts the position and motion of the teleported avatar into the local AR space according to the matched information. This results in a natural looking and spatially correct rendering of the remote user in the local augmented space and a significantly improved tele-conference experience and communication performance.

“…In order to consider more flexible ways of supporting collaboration around objects, researchers in Japan developed a system called t-Room (Hirata et al, 2008). Rather than just the hands of the remote participants being projected into the local domain, life size images of the co-participants are presented.…”

Telecommunication service has been growing and progressing from telephone to high reality communication systems that are based on evolution of network and media technologies. Recognizing virtual reality (VR) as a communication tool, we provide a review of communication services and the directions they are moving in, as well as related VR technologies. The Immersive Telepresence System "Kirari!" is also introduced as the latest development example for a new telecommunication service.
