Assessment of sense of presence for 3D IP phone service under actual environments

This paper assesses the sense of presence for the 3D IP phone service with the binaural recording by experiments under actual environments. In the experiments, the authors consider seven actual environments where we meet in our daily life. The experimental results show that, under the actual environments, the 3D IP phone service can give higher sense of presence than a monaural IP phone even if it utilize a low bit-rate coding. Consequently, the authors confirm the practicality of our 3D IP phone service.
