Abstract

We propose a pseudo 3D video communication system that imparts motion parallax which adjusts to the viewpoint position of a user and enables the user to view video pictures in which depth can be perceived with an ordinary equipment setup, namely a monocular camera and a 2D display. We have implemented the system and evaluation experiment results with it showed that its imparting of motion parallax allows it to represent distances that closely reflect actual face-to-face situations better than 2D video can. In addition, subjective evaluations confirmed that motion parallax gives users the feeling that the conversational partner is actually present and makes it easier for them to comprehend the positional relationship of the conversational partner in space.
