This paper introduces the actualization of a new communication channel under a pseudo-real-time phenomenon, in an Augmented Distributed Virtual Environment (ADVE) framework through the implementation of a Prediction Feedback Loop (PFL), upon the existence of the unavoidable lag derived from the natural and artificial temporal factors. By implementing PFL, the ADVE framework is enriched with predictive characteristic where it is able to predict and foreshow information of a remotely controlled avatar (virtual body) in the ADVE. Based on the predictive results, interactions between a locally controlled avatar and a remotely controlled avatar in the ADVE can be carried out smoothly, effectively and strategically under an illusory real-time phenomenon without influence from the existence of lag. With this Pseudo-real-time Channel, we would like to bring forth a new era of effective man-to-man virtual communication over the network without inefficiency caused by the unavoidable lag, whether it is solvable or unsolvable.
