In a conventional face-to-face meeting, the attendees gather around a common space such as whiteboard for taking down notes and exchanging information. It is indispensable for attendees not only to meet each other but also to share a sense of collaboration. In addition to those, attendees' voice, facial expressions, gestures, and even the atmosphere surrounding the meeting room all are essential to a cooperative environment. Therefore, we propose a remote conferencing system MAX to support multi-location, cooperative working environment with the architectural integration of the so-called "communication" and "working" spaces. In the integrated virtual space, users, while on the move, can exploit interacting with others freely. It is also possible to utilize pen-based writing device for simple and natural input. We analyzed the data obtained from various experiments. By adjusting the timing factor for setting up a conversation and writing collectively, the progression of the meeting could be controlled seamlessly.
