To achieve this, location A is equipped with at least two image generation elements for generating images of the participants in location A, said elements being assigned to different participant positions in location W and is also equipped with at least one optical representation of each participant position in location W. The image generation elements are arranged in such a way that for at least one participant position in location A and at least two representations of participant positions in location W, which are assigned to different image generation elements, the image generation element that is assigned to the respective participant position in location W is positioned within a horizontal angular range of ±20° in relation to the connection lines between the participant position in location A and the representations of the participant positions in location W. Each participant position in location W is assigned the reproduction means that reproduces the image of the image generation element assigned to said participant position.
