Communication is the most useful tool to impart knowledge, understand ideas, clarify thoughts and expressions, organize plan and manage every single day-to-day activity. Although there are different modes of communication, physical barrier…
To facilitate engaging and nuanced conversations around data, we contribute a touchless approach to interacting directly with visualization in remote presentations. We combine dynamic charts overlaid on a presenter's webcam feed with…
Creating shared understanding between stakeholders is essential for the success of software projects. Conflicting requirements originating from misaligned mental models can hinder the development process. The use of videos to present…
Mobile video calls are widely used to share information about real-world objects and environments with remote collaborators. While these calls provide valuable visual context in real time, the experience of interacting with people and…
Remote collaboration systems have become increasingly important in today's society, especially during times where physical distancing is advised. Industry, research and individuals face the challenging task of collaborating and networking…
Video conferencing has become a central part of our daily lives, thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, so have its many limitations, resulting in poor support for communicative and social behavior and ultimately, Zoom fatigue. New…
Recent research advance has significantly improved the visual realism of immersive 3D video communication. In this work we present a method to further enhance this immersive experience by adding the hand touch capability ("remote hand…
Both text and video data are abundant on the internet and support large-scale self-supervised learning through next token or frame prediction. However, they have not been equally leveraged: language models have had significant real-world…
We investigate methods of segmenting, visualizing, and indexing presentation videos by separately considering audio and visual data. The audio track is segmented by speaker, and augmented with key phrases which are extracted using an…
During remote communication, participants often share both digital and physical content, such as product designs, digital assets, and environments, to enhance mutual understanding. Recent advances in augmented communication have facilitated…
Videoconference conversations about data often entail screen sharing visualization artifacts, in which nonverbal communication goes largely ignored. Beyond presentation use cases, conversations supported by visualization also arise in…
Augmented video presentation tools provide a natural way for presenters to interact with their content, resulting in engaging experiences for remote audiences, such as when a presenter uses hand gestures to manipulate and direct attention…
Speech is one of the interaction modalities that we increasingly come across in natural user interfaces. However, its use in collaborative scenarios has not yet been thoroughly investigated. In this reflection statement, we discuss the…
In-person human interaction relies on our spatial perception of each other and our surroundings. Current remote communication tools partially address each of these aspects. Video calls convey real user representations but without spatial…
Data-driven stories seek to inform and persuade audiences through the use of data visualisations and engaging narratives. These stories have now been highly optimised to be viewed on desktop and mobile computers. In contrast, while…
Interactive collaborative video is now a common part of remote work. Despite its prevalence, traditional video conferencing can be challenging, sometimes causing social discomforts that undermine process and outcomes. Avatars on 2D displays…
Augmented reality (AR) has great potential for use in healthcare applications, especially remote medical training and supervision. In this paper, we analyze the usage of an AR communication system to teach a medical procedure, the placement…
In order to address the limitations of gestural capabilities in physical robots, researchers in Virtual, Augmented, Mixed Reality Human-Robot Interaction (VAM-HRI) have been using augmented-reality visualizations that increase robot…
Hand gestures are a natural means of interaction in Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality (AR/VR) applications. Recently, there has been an increased focus on removing the dependence of accurate hand gesture recognition on complex sensor…
Facilitated meetings are an established practice for the requirements engineering activities elicitation and validation. Focus groups are one well-known technique to implement this practice. Several researchers already reported the…
