Research Abstract	Using high definition TV camera system and high speed 1 bit sound signal processing system, which were remodeled for outside use by ourselves, we recorded audio-visual information of the World Heritage, Borobudur and Plambanan, in Indonesia with high reality. We found that the frequency analyzes by the fast foulier transmission (FFT) and the fluctuation structure analyzed by the maximum entropy method (MEM) are useful index for global information environment mapping. We developed a high vision software named "ECHOACAPE" as a prototype of the software with high level of reality, using audio-visual material recorded in Indonesia.
