Abstract

We had trial broadcast for a university graduation ceremony with telepresence. One of the graduates carried a laptop computer with a camera with him, and we broadcast the video image from the camera on the Internet. The audience on the network experienced telepresence at the graduation ceremoney. We report our experiment system configuration and the required communications between staff as well as problems and findings. Finally we present the users' comments and describe what is needed for telepresence and internet broadcast.
