Abstract
We have developed a system that supports presentations in meetings and conf erences. Using computers and a network such as an intranet, it enables user s to share conference materials effectively, and manages and delivers them easily. If it is used in conjunction with a videoconferencing system, users can hold a teleconference and participate in presentations from various re mote sites. From the viewpoint of information transmission, the requirement s for a presentation in a teleconference are similar to those for a remote classroom or lecture. We believe that this conference support system is sui table not only for conferences but also for education and telehealth.
