A method (10) for processing interactive communication in a meeting spaced shared by attending participants who are visually present with each other. The method (10) includes the steps of providing electronic display devices to a plurality of participants (12), including individual video monitors on each display device, linking the electronic display devices for interactive processing of conference data among participants and a speaker (14), and monitoring and modifying a flow of conference data between the electronic display devices (16). The method may also include the step of activating a participant's image on another participant's display device (18), thus enabling interactive communication between at least two participants. Furthermore, the step of monitoring and modifying a flow of conference data (16) may include assigning an electronic display device with presenter status (20), assigning communication priority to a specific electronic display device (22), or personalizing the display characteristics of the electronic display device to conform to preference of an individual participant (24). |
