In recent years, avatar robots operated remotely by users have attracted increasing attention as a means of enabling communication with users in real space. In previous work, we developed an IoT avatar, which utilizes a physical object as an avatar instead of a robot, and demonstrated its effectiveness in one-on-one communication with on-site users. However, by employing multiple IoT avatars, it becomes possible to switch avatars in response to the movements and actions of the on-site user, allowing for more flexible and continuous communication. In this study, we constructed a communication system that enables continuous interaction between an on-site user and multiple IoT avatars.
