Abstract
In this paper, we describe a system that provides a “work-at-home” environment based on a virtual shared room built on a 3D graphics workstation. We realize “Awareness Space” on the system to avoid a tradeoff between providing facility of informal communication and keeping one's workspace from others' awareness information. Also, this system provides the feeling of the own self presence at virtual office by using “around view” and “sound effect”.
