Abstract
This paper describes the design and evaluation of a multiparty videoconferencing system “MARC” that projects life-size video images of participants onto a large curved screen as if users in various locations are attending a meeting together and sitting around a table. MAJIC also supports multiple eye-contact among the participants and awareness of the direction of the participants’ gaze. Hence users can carry on a discussion in a manner comparable to face-to-face meetings.
