Abstract
An apparatus for and a method of transmitting and receiving data streams representing 3-dimensional virtual space, the apparatus comprising: a transmitting member; a receiving member; and a transfer member for connecting the transmitting member and the receiving member in bidirectional manner; wherein a shape data stream, a motion data stream and an audio data stream representing a shape and a motion of a skeletal structure in 3-DCG and a sound synchronous with the motion, respectively are transmitted to the receiving member from the transmitting member such that the receiving member generates the 3-DCG through synchronization of the motion data stream and the audio data stream.
