#273: Iterative Design for Distributed Embodied Collaboration

Thu Jun 18, 4:15 PM–5:45 PM · Outdoors

To effectively support remote maker sessions, tools are needed that allow distributed embodied collaborations to emerge naturally rather than forcing conformity to existing video conferencing. We present an overview of a multi-year iterative design, testing, and evaluation process of REACH (Remote Embodiment for Augmented Collaborative Help), offering insights into developing similar systems to support distributed embodied collaborations.
