ABSTRACT
Recently videoconferencing has been extended from human face-to-face communication to human machine interaction with Virtual Environments [2]. Relying on established videoconferencing protocol standards this thin client solution does not require specialized 3D soft- or hardware and scales well to multimedia enabled mobile devices. This brings a whole range of new applications to the mobile platform. To facilitate our research in mobile interaction the Open Source project P@CE has been started to bring a full-featured videoconferencing client to the Pocket PC platform.

The blue-C (poster session): integrating real humans into a networked immersive environment
CVE '00: Proceedings of the third international conference on Collaborative virtual environmentsIn this paper, we report ongoing work in a new project, The Blue-C. The goal of this project is to build a collaborative, immersive virtual environment which will eventually integrate real humans, captured by a set of video cameras. Two Blue-C.s will be ...
Sensory information for collaborative interaction in augmented environments
CHI EA '01: CHI '01 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsTo effectively design computer simulations for interactive shared environments, we first need to understand what basic sensory information is required by people collaborating in these environments. Experiments have been proposed to investigate how ...
An experimental study on the role of touch in shared virtual environments
Special issue on human-computer interaction and collaborative virtual environmentsInvestigating virtual environments has become an increasingly interesting research topic for engineers, computer and cognitive scientists, and psychologists. Although there have been several recent studies focused on the development of multimodal ...
