This paper define a spatiotemporal mutual information on the pixels of a given video image on the basis of information theory (Shannon's communication theory), which can be interpreted as the theoretical estimation of interested spots for human being. As an application of this spatiotemporal mutual information, we propose a method of producing a vivid video image of the distance learning by using the computer controlled camera operation and switching of plural camera images on the basis of the video image processing. The results of questionnaire survey for the produced video image confirm the effectiveness of our approach.
