ABSTRACT:
A multimedia conference technique is disclosed that allows physically remote users to participate in an immersive telecollaborative environment by synchronizing multiple data, images and sounds. The multimedia conference implementation provides users with the perception of being in the same room visually as well as acoustically according to an orientation plan which reflects each remote user's position within the multimedia conference environment.
