uCom: Spatial Displays For Visual Awareness Of Remote Locations Ana Luisa Santos MIT Media Laboratory 20 Ames St. Cambridge, MA 02139 USA alsantos@media.mit.edu V.

Outline • Introduction • Concept • Related Work • Prototype • User feedback • Conclusion and Future Work
Introduction • Sense of coexistence. • Spatial displays. • Ubiquitous sense of space. • Facilitate remote collaboration. • Enhancing users’ perception of the dynamics of the remote space.
Concept • Ubiquitous Cameras, observant monitors. • Design principles: • Two physically separate architectural spaces. • Focus on visual awareness, not communication. • Flexible system.
Related Work • “media spaces,” awareness. • Related work on four areas: • Spatial coherence between remote rooms. • Image-based reconstructions of real-world scenes . • Multi-display Applications . • Awareness Applications .
Prototype -1/4 • Mutually transmit live video views between two remote spaces. • Image Acquisition and scene computation . • Image display and User interface . • Two possible display formats. • A 3D collage of multiple views. • Individual views.
Prototype -4/4 • Using: • C and C++ • libVLC2 and liSDL3 • OpenGL • Apple Quartz Composer
User feedback -1/4 • User feedback on two research questions: • If our system enables the understanding of a remote location's layout. • How users react to incorporating remote views into their everyday physical environment.
User feedback -2/4 • A total of eight adults not familiar with the layout of the spaces were recruited as subjects. • The research method comprised observing a subject doing tasks such as: • For 3D space and the feeling of collage. • The feeling of using a separate image.
User feedback -4/4 • Few people want to have a more wide-angle images or more remote. • Also few people who feel only interesting .
Conclusion and Future Work • Innovative spatial context to visual awareness between remote locations. • Easily incorporate remote views into the local environment. • Evaluate other use case scenarios • User agreement. • Using space. • Specific tasks. • Minimize 3D collage distortions.
