Presence production in live television: experiments in interaction and mediation in a digital environment

Published:03 June 2009Publication History

ABSTRACT

This article describes experiments that combined presence technology with multi-camera television production. This technique can unite two people in different spaces in a single visual reality space and provide eye contact; it can also depict them as being in a single room. This study is based on the participants' experiences with this kind of television production. In addition a group of viewers was asked to give their views on the realism of the recordings.
