Abstract
Some studies have been conducted on 2.5D display surfaces, which displays a two-dimensional video with a curved or deformable display surface. In this study, we developed a telepresence system, which protrudes a specific part of a remote video by a 2.5D display surface. The system has a stretch projection screen and a push-out mechanism. The screen is pushed out from behind and expresses protrusion. This protrusion is aiming to express the depth information of the remote video. We expected that it enhances the remote conversation partner’s presence. We supposed a conversation such as showing and explaining an object in videoconferencing, and conducted experiments in order to confirm an effect of the developed system as a telepresence system. The protrusion was in synchronization with the movement of the objects on the projected video. The results of the experiment suggested that the protrusion on the screen surface provided by this system strengthens the presence of the object and remote person.
