Using distance as an interface in a video communication system

Published: 25 November 2003 Publication History

Abstract

Physical proximity between people is a language for non-verbal communication that we all employ everyday, although we are barely aware of it. Yet, existing systems for video-mediated communication fail to fully take it into account. In this paper, we present MirrorSpace, a new video communication system that uses proximity as an interface to provide smooth transitions from general visual awareness to very close and intimate forms of communication.
