Abstract in different language:	We describe how we use 3D graphics in order to enhance multimedia communication. We have developed a system which automatically generates a virtual environment consisting of a dynamic visualization of, and control mechanisms for, multimedia interaction. Our system automatically generates customized displays of the environment for each user, presenting to the user visual cues that are created explicity to convey information about herself, others, services, and devices. We have developed a suite of self-modifying intelligent objects, constrained viewers, context-sensitive annotation objects, and intelligent animated objects. The approach described is suitable for a wide variety of applications, including conferencing, long-term collaboration, chat groups, Web browsing, live performance, and on-line help; the architecture accommodates users with hybrid configurations of platforms, services, and peripherals.
