Abstract
The dynamics of head and eye gaze between two or more individuals displayed during verbal and nonverbal face-to-face communication contains a wealth of information and is used for both volitionary and unconscious signaling. Current video communication systems convey visual signals about gaze behavior and other directional cues, but the information they carry is often spurious and potentially misleading. I discuss the consequences of this situation, identify the source of the problem as a more general lack of deictic consistency, and demonstrate that using display technologies that simulate motion parallax are both necessary and sufficient to alleviate it. I then devise an avatar-based remote communication solution that achieves deictic consistency and provides natural, dynamic eye contact for computer-mediated audiovisual communication.
