Abstract: A method for processing interactive communications in a meeting space shared by attending participants who are visually present with each other. The method includes the steps of providing electronic display devices to a plurality of participants, including individual video monitors on each display device, linking the electronic display devices for interactive processing of conference data among participants and a speaker, and monitoring and modifying a flow of conference data between the electronic display devices. The method may also include the step of activating a participant's image on another participant's display device, thus enabling interactive communication between at least two participants.
