Title:
- Consistent Desktop Sharing Based on Document Coordinate System for Face-to-Face Online Meeting
Description:
Remote physical desktop sharing system has been widely studied in interactive surface research field to support distant collaborative works [Ishii 1990; Junuzovic et al. 2012; Higuchi et al. 2015]. Basically, the appearance of a work space on one site is captured by an overhead camera, and overlaid with that on the other site, and vice versa. Consequently, the users in the both sites share the same graphical information on their desktops. For example, in a remote education system, an educator writes an annotation on a projected document image to provide an instruction to a remote student, which is visually overlaid on the physical counterpart on the student site. One of the significant advantages of such systems is that users can visually share not only their documents or books but also context or non-verbal information such as the gestures of their hands and pens. Sharing the gestures enhances social telepresence, which is an important sense to resemble face-to-face interaction[Finn 1997]. Enhancing social telepresence psychologically makes the physical distance between remote people shorter[Tanaka et al. 2014], and mutual awareness higher[Garrison et al. 1999].
