When people have casual meetings, it is not unusual that several participants sit around a table and point at and manipulate artifacts on a desktop. Such collaboration includes collaborative design activity with sheets of paper and collaborative learning using tangible device. We are interested in supporting this kind of collaboration in remote setting. In this paper we introduce the video mediated remote collaboration system. This system is designed so that embodiment of participants' conducts can be monitored naturally. To allow a system at least four participants, we employed the roundtable meeting metaphor. Two 60-inch screens are settled along two side of each desk. Images of remote participants are projected onto the screens. Artifacts and gestures on both desktop are shared by using a similar configuration to Double DigitalDesk. In this paper, we describe design principle, architecture, and initial impressions of the system.
