Abstract
Meetings play an important role in our daily lives. Verbal communication and social relationship development are the primary activities of meeting attendees. In this paper, we propose a meeting support system, namely SmartMic, to enhance user experiences and facilitate social interactions during meetings. SmartMic uses smartphone and readily available facilities in common meeting venues to support easy speaking and establishing new social connections. Meeting attendees in the system speak through smartphone instead of microphone and contact with each other conveniently. Preliminary experiment results show that SmartMic can facilitate the social interaction among attendees and promote the meeting productivity efficiently.
