Today’s technology and advances in networking and multimedia systems stimulate a change in the
way business is carried out, making it a globally distributed process, in which communication and
collaboration of geographically dispersed group is of vital importance. Teleconferencing and
collaborative telepresence systems that provide high-degree of copresence give enough evidences that
projective VR systems when combined with multimedia facilities, such as real-time video and audio,
can greatly facilitate the communication and collaboration over distance in a variety of application
areas. The approach presented in this paper, creates an environment where remote participants not
only meet as if face to face, but also share the same virtual space and perform common tasks.
Multimedia datastreams, such as live stereo-video and audio, from a projective VR system are
transmitted and integrated into the virtual space of another participant at a distant VR system,
allowing geographically separated groups to meet in a common virtual space, while maintaining eyecontact, gaze awareness and body language
