A telepresence system using a flexible textile display

In this study, we developed a telepresence system which has a flexible and deformable screen. The screen deforms in synchronization with the move of the objects on the projected video. This deformation of the display surface provides the perception of depth for the projected video. We attempted to add the perception of depth to the video of the remote person and extend a video conferencing system. The results of the experiment suggested that the perception of depth provided by system strengthens the presence of a remote person and an object on the video.
