Beyond Talking Heads – Towards Sharing Life

Abstract

In this workshop position paper we briefly describe our current work in the fields of mediated presence, social user experience, audio/video communication and shared activities mediated by information and communication technology. We address developments encountered in our own work which we think are important for future application and better support for social interaction and communication for people separated by distance or time. We conclude with our plans for future research and our contribution to the workshop.QC 20150511</p
