Abstract
The traditional video teleconferencing systems provide a “video in a window” interface paradigm, it’s not sufficient for naturally interactive interface for the collaborative work. We design a collaborative space called VCS. In VCS, a virtual collaborative space is built based on immersive teleconferencing. The remote conferees can discuss in the virtual space as similar to do it in the local rooms. VCS can be used to provide a new paradigm for the remote cooperative work. This paper presents the spatial model and video object extraction technique of VCS.
