Abstract :
In this paper, it proposes the multimodal communications system that uses three information on verbal information, non-verbal information, and sensitivity information. In this research, universities and research institutes that have immersive displays and tiled displays are interconnected over the ultrahigh-speed network, and cooperative tele-immersion environments are constructed. A new human community is created by using tele-immersion technology of this research. The facial expression and the gesture are the critical factors in person´s communications, and enough communications might not be approved in present video phone and teleconference system. The multimodal communications system achieves new communications in interconnected large screen system by using the video communication technology and the sensibility information processing technology.
