In our approach to telepresence a multitude of stationary cameras are used to acquire both photometric and depth information of a remote environment. A virtual environment is then constructed and redisplayed in accordance with the local participant's head position and orientation. This allows users wearing a head-mounted display to walk around remote environments and interact with other remote individuals as if they were actually within the same space.
