Enhancing Group Telepresence Interaction through Seamless Inverse Panorama Projection on Spherical Display

In recent years, advancements in telepresence technology have made remote communication and collaboration easier. MetaPo is a system that uses spherical displays to seamlessly integrate physical and digital interactions. However, conventional inverse panorama techniques face challenges such as image seams, coverage issues, and overlapping displays. To address these challenges, this study proposes an inverse panorama technique based on coordinate transformation, enhancing visual continuity and user experience. Additionally, evaluation methods necessary to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in improving the quality of remote communication have been devised. This research provides a novel solution to challenges in spherical display technology and paves the way for more immersive telepresence experiences.
