ParticiPod: Portable Telepresence for Immersive Activity Sharing
Pages 331 - 332
Abstract
Varying factors prevent loved ones from being together physically. There are existing means of facilitating conversation, be it through text voice, video chat or telepresence products. However, current solutions do not have the portability and personification necessary to allow for shared activities with one another and a sense of presence. We present the design for ParticiPod, a portable device to enable telepresence in a more tangible way. We have identified a potential gap in research and present a physical prototype that demonstrates key features. We also detail the ways in which ParticiPod contributes to social good.

Telepresence robot that exaggerates non-verbal cues for taking turns in multi-party teleconferences
HAI '14: Proceedings of the second international conference on Human-agent interactionIn this paper, we propose a telepresence robot that exaggerates non-verbal cues for taking turns in multi- party teleconferences. In multi-party teleconferences, it is more difficult that the remote participants to take their turns than face-to-face. ...

Geocaching with a Beam: Shared Outdoor Activities through a Telepresence Robot with 360 Degree Viewing
CHI '18: Proceedings of the 2018 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsPeople often enjoy sharing outdoor activities together such as walking and hiking. However, when family and friends are separated by distance it can be difficult if not impossible to share such activities. We explore this design space by investigating ...
