A development of Classroom Design Simulator for interactive video teleconference

"Visual Field Record System" is aimed to support participant\´s behavior analysis in distance education using an interactive video teleconference system. An examination of the eye camera position is important to use the system effectively, because the camera\´s angle and zoom rate is considered participant\´s behavior in this system. Actually, there are some problems that it originates in the camera position of the system. We approached these problems by developing the eye camera install-simulator including arrangement of the classroom equipment. This simulator is called Classroom Design Simulator. This paper describes functions and operations of the simulator. After that, the system is evaluated by the application to a case. It was shown that this system was useful for a distance education planner as a result.
