Development of Informal Communication Environment Using Interactive Tiled Display Wall

In the early stage of planning or design, it is desired to support the informal communication between remote sites. In this study, informal communication environment between remote places was constructed by using the interactive tiled display wall.This system measures the user's gesture as well as captures the user's image by using the multiple fish-eye cameras. Then, the remote users can communicate with each other by using the touch interaction in the shared space. This system was applied to the remote communication and the effectiveness of this method in the informal communication was experimentally evaluated.

Tiled Display Wall

In intellectual collaborative works with participants between remote sites via WAN, CSCW have been used as general communication tools. Especially, the sharing of various, high-quality digital contents such as various materials, computer graphics or visualization contents, and video streaming by between remote places is important to recognize or analyze to easily refer to these contents. However, the image magnification by general projector and large-sized display equipment is low-resolution, and sufficient quality of contents is not obtained. In this research, the author has constructed a tele-immersive collaborative environment with a tiled display wall. In this environment, the author has implemented an application to display high-resolution real video streaming on a tiled display wall in remote place. By using the application, the author displayed the clear video image of remote place over a wide range. Then, the author conducted experimental verification on the effect for eye-to-eye contact by changing the position of camera on frame of LCDs on tiled display wall, and has collected a lot of knowledge. Moreover, the author has tried realistic display processing of high-resolution astronomical observation image and movie data, and it has enabled observation of the entire image of observation data all over tiled display wall.
