Outline of Final Research Achievements	In this research, we have examined the design of remote communication system that enables outing together virtually. In this system, a pair of distant users can communicate with looking around together. We have developed several prototypes. The first one uses optical see-through HMD for the outdoor user to share the gesture of each other. However, they do not feel the same outing together feelings as the indoor user. Our second prototype uses video see-through HMD so that an avatar of the indoor user can be displayed on it.
