34 . 2 : Multiple - Viewing - Angle Projection - Display Technique for Videoconferencing

We have developed a technique that changes the image seen on a screen depending on the viewing angle. A new display apparatus for video conferences based on this technique projects multiple images of participants taken from different angles onto a directional screen consisting of a directional diffusion plate and lens. This display apparatus provides us with the natural feeling and comfort of directly talking in the same room. This report describes the directional screen, multidirectional projecting, and multidirectional picture shooting, which are important elements of this technique.
