Abstrakt: As the number of interdisciplinary collaborations between remotely located researchers increases, a communication environment with high reality becomes essential as a collaboration support tool. In the VizGrid project, we have proposed a concept called Volume Communication as a new collaboration support tool, to provide a highly realistic remote conference system. In the Volume Communication concept we set up a virtual collaboration room and allocate three-dimensional (3D) video images of researchers at remote locations, 3D simulation results, and measured data. In this paper we report on the voxel communication environment which realizes the volume communication concept by handling all data as a voxel data format, and evaluate experimental results of the functionality and performance of this experimental system.
