In this system, a terminal equipment is located at the point of each interlocutor, having a monitor for displaying at least the image of a partner, a position regulation means for regulating the position of the interlocutor with respect to a monitor screen, and an image pickup apparatus having an image pickup unit for picking up the image of the interlocutor and a support mechanism for setting the image pickup unit at a predetermined position between the interlocutor and the monitor. Particularly, the image pickup unit is set in a line-of-sight matching area defined by the distance from the interlocutor to the monitor, which is specified by the position regulation means, and a parallactic angle for determining that the line of sight of the interlocutor matches the line of sight of the monitor image of the partner.
