Abstract:
The invention relates to a communication system and a method for providing a virtual meeting of a first user (U1, U2, U3, U4) and a second user (U1, U2, U3, U4), comprising a first communication device (12, 14, 16, 18, 24, 26, 28, 32, 34) with a first display device (12a, 14a, 16a, 18a, 24a, 26a, 28a, 32a) associated with the first user (U1, U2, U3, U4), and a second communication device (12, 14, 16, 18, 24, 26, 28, 32, 34) with a second display device (12a, 14a, 16a, 18a, 24a, 26a, 28a, 32a) associated with the second user (U1, U2, U3, U4). Moreover a virtual meeting space (22) is displayed on the second display device (12a, 14a, 16a, 18a, 24a, 26a, 28a, 32a), user related data (B1, B2, B3, D1, D2, D3) related to the first user (U1, U2, U3, 114) are provided and a first displaying characteristic (B1′, B2′, B3′) of a first object (U1′, U2′, U3′, U4′, 30) is determined in dependency of the provided user related data (B1, B2, B3, D1, D2, D3) according to a set degree of variance (R1, R2, R3) of the user related data (B1, B2, B3, D1, D2, D3). Further the first object (U1′, U2′, U3′, U4′, 30) is displayed with the determined first displaying characteristic (B1′, B2′, B3′) according to the set degree of variance (R1, R2, R3) within the virtual meeting space (22) displayed on the second display device (12a, 14a, 16a, 18a, 24a, 26a, 28a, 32a) to the second user (U1, U2, U3, U4).
