Abstract
Taking advantage of self-restraint due to the infection spread of COVID-19 in recent years, the utilization of online communication using the Internet in various fields such as classes and conference is rapidly expanding. However, it has been pointed out that many systems that are mainly used at present have traditional problems, such as feeling various discomforts compared to normal face-to-face communication. In order to realize on-line communication more smoothly, we proposed and implemented an on-line communication system that can convey the face and face orientation of the participant by using multiple cameras. In addition, we verified the effectiveness of this proposed system by comparative experiments with traditional on-line communication system. As these results, we confirmed that the multi-camera system can communicate the direction of the face to the other participants. Moreover, the obstacles in conversation can be removed as a whole, although there are differences in the usability of each participant.
