1 What’s HyperMirror?
Morikawa et al. (1998) designed HyperMirror
which is a new video image communication tool.
Unlike the traditional video conferencing system,
HyperMirror uses composited video image with
chroma-key effect (Figure 1). For this, HyperMirror
allows local and remote participants to feel as if they
are in the same room, share materials, and do collaborative activities (eg. Figure 2). In addition, participants can interact naturally because their own image
is reversed and appears just as if they were looking in
a mirror.
