Shared virtual teleconferencing environments like Open Croquet,�AliceStreet or cAR/PE! represent communication in a closed form, where�participants are displayed as avatars. Besides audio and video streams�additional communication channels like body speech elements and gesture�communication are integrated. Furthermore, the virtual environments�allow for the interaction with virtual tools like blackboards,�projection screens and 3D models. Hand motion detection based on optical�sensors could be employed to deal with these tools in a natural way and�would further realise the integration of a gesture communication�channel.
This presentation will give an overview of the current state of research�and will present our own attempts.
