- Abstract
This study presents Portal Display, a screen-based telepresence system that mediates the interaction between two distinct spaces, each using a single display system. The system synchronizes the users' viewpoint with their head position and orientation to provide stereoscopic vision through this single monitor. This research evaluates the impact of graphically rendered and video-streamed backgrounds and remote user representations on social telepresence, usability, and concentration during conversations and collaborative tasks. Our results indicate that the type of background has a negligible impact on these metrics. However, point cloud streaming of remote users significantly improves social telepresence, usability, and concentration compared with graphical avatars. This study implies that Portal Display can operate more efficiently by substituting the background with graphical rendering and focusing on higher-resolution 3D point cloud streaming for narrower regions for remote user representations. This configuration may be especially advantageous for applications where the remote user's background is not essential to the task, potentially enhancing social telepresence.
