Studies on techniques for multimedia works production and imagination expression have been insufficient. Developments in computer graphics and synthesis technologies, however, have resulted in new types of methods and systems for creating video scenes, that is, virtual reality and virtual systems such as virtual studio. We are engaged in research on tools and an environment using technologies for virtual systems that can help non-specialists effectively create and present the images they wish to convey. In this paper, we propose a new image expression environment called IER (the Image Expression Room) which consists of two parts: a virtual studio with a large display and a new and integrated media handling system called COMI&CS (Computer Organized Media Integration & Communication System). IER allows people that do not have expert knowledge on the manipulation of media or techniques to express their images, to do so with a high degree of freedom. Moreover, we introduce a new type of media handling technique that uses impressions. It is called KANSEI processing in Japan.
