ABSTRACT
Pêle-Mêle is a multi-party video communication system that supports a variable degree of engagement. It combines computer vision techniques with spatial and temporal filtering of the video streams and an original layout to support synchronous as well as asynchronous forms of communication ranging from casual awareness to focused face-to-face interactions. This note presents the system's design concept and some of its implementation details.

Pêle-Mêle, une étude de la communication multi-échelles
IHM '09: Proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Association Francophone d'Interaction Homme-MachineThe communication infrastructure around us is a rich but fragmented environment made of separated services corresponding to different levels of engagement. The multiscale approach to communication alternatively proposes to create systems that support a ...
Impact of video-mediated communication on simulated service encounters
The results are reported of three studies of collaborative problem-solving in a simulated travel agency where communication between travel agent and customers is supported by a videolink and shared multimedia tools. The video-mediated contexts (VMCs) ...
Impact of seating positions on group video communication
CSCW '08: Proceedings of the 2008 ACM conference on Computer supported cooperative workIn this study, we examine how changes in seating position across different sites affect video-mediated communication. We experimentally investigated the effects of altering seating positions on conversations in four-person group communication, two-by-two ...
