CyPhone : Future personal telecooperation device

Emerging wireless mobile broadband communications systems, such as wireless local area networks, and 3rd generation digital mobile networks create new opportunities for personal mobile telecooperation services and devices for both private and corporate use. Beyond multimedia, Internet and WWW, telepresence and virtual reality hold promise to meet out needs for telecooperation, but the metaphors and ways to reach this are still largely unchartered. Out research addresses a particular domain in this field, mobile telepresence and augmented reality based services and devices. We propose a novel device concept, CyPhone, and illustrate some user scenarios and potential services.
