This paper discusses the findings of experiments on spatial cognition by an avatar-controlling user of telecommunication systems. With the presented telecommunication systems, the avatar-controlling user has an objective viewpoint to see the remote environment. However, sometimes, the words of an avatar-controlling user may not be intuitive for an avatar-viewing user, because the avatar-controlling user does not necessarily share the viewpoint of the avatar. We conducted a series of experiments to investigate how user interface or avatar implementation can mitigate this mismatch of the avatar-viewing and avatar-controlling users. The results showed that a refined user interface and a physical robot brought more intuitive utterances for the avatar-viewing user than an original projection-based system.
