ABSTRACT
Even with the investment of significant resources, video communication in professional settings has not gained mass appeal. This contrasts with the consumer space where, despite limited resources and low quality solutions, services such as Skype have seen widespread adoption. In this paper, we explore the behavior and attitudes of individuals who actively use video communication in both their personal and professional lives. We highlight similarities and differences across these two domains, with particular focus on the interpersonal relationships, spaces, and activities that each domain supports and enables. We conclude by discussing how our study leads to a new perspective that focuses on the shared experiences enabled by video communication.

Elevating Communication, Collaboration, and Shared Experiences in Mobile Video through Drones
DIS '16: Proceedings of the 2016 ACM Conference on Designing Interactive SystemsPeople are increasingly using mobile video to communicate, collaborate, and share experiences while on the go. Yet this presents challenges in adequately sharing camera views with remote users. In this paper, we study the use of semi-autonomous drones ...
Moving beyond talking heads to shared experiences: the future of personal video communication
GROUP '12: Proceedings of the 2012 ACM International Conference on Supporting Group WorkThis workshop explores the future of personal video communications where systems and designs move beyond supporting conversations to a new design paradigm consisting of shared activities and experiences between distance-separated family and friends.
Collaboration with 360° Videochat: Challenges and Opportunities
DIS '17: Proceedings of the 2017 Conference on Designing Interactive SystemsWe designed a videochat experience where one participant can experience a remote environment from a 360° camera. This allows the remote user to view and explore the environment without necessitating interaction from the local participant. We designed ...
