Abstract

The authors have proposed a coordinated motor display system for called ARM-COMS (ARm-supported eMbodied COMmunication Monitor System) that detects the orientation of the subject’s head by face tracking through image processing technology and physically moves the monitor to mimic the subject. The idea behind this is that the remote subject’s avatar behaves as if it functions during video communication and interacts with the local subject. In addition, ARM-COMS responds appropriately with voice even when the remote subject’s head movements cannot be detected. Furthermore, ARM-COMS is a highly responsive system by responding to local subject’s voice. This paper introduces the basic concepts of ARM-COMS, describes how it was developed, and describes how the basic procedures were implemented in a prototype system. Then this paper introduces the results of teleconferencing experiments using ARM-COMS, and describes the findings obtained from the results, including the effect of physical interaction through ARM-COMS, camera shake problem, and evoking emotional projection in remote communication.
