The Influence of Audio Information Manipulation on the Perceived Atmosphere in Telepresence Systems for Remote Work

IEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering, EarlyView.
Remote work, which enables employees to work from home, has emerged as a prominent working style in recent years. However, unlike traditional office environments where the ‘atmosphere of the space’ is naturally shared, remote work relies on screen‐based communication, making it challenging to convey this atmosphere.

Image‐Based Spatio‐Temporal Interpolation for Split Rendering

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Low‐powered devices – such as small form factor head‐mounted displays (HMDs) – struggle to deliver a smooth and high‐quality viewing experience, due to their limited power and rendering capabilities. Cloud rendering attempts to solve the quality issue, but leads to prohibitive latency and bandwidth requirements, hindering use with HMDs over ...

Tippy the Telepresence Robot [PDF]

, 2011
We have built Tippy, a micro telepresence robot that allows a user to remotely project him or herself into another space, move around, and communicate via video and audio. An iPod Touch running Skype provides the robot with wireless video input and output capabilities and handles the movement commands from the remote user.

Is There Fairness in AI?

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract As predictive artificial intelligence (AI) technologies increasingly steer workplace decisions, debates around fairness have intensified. Existing research often approaches fairness either as a set of universal principles supported or undermined by algorithms, or as a product of social interpretations, thereby providing either technologically ...

How automatic speed control based on distance affects user behaviours in telepresence robot navigation within dense conference-like environments.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Telepresence robots allow users to be spatially and socially present in remote environments. Yet, it can be challenging to remotely operate telepresence robots, especially in dense environments such as academic conferences or workplaces.

Towards Transparent Telepresence [PDF]

, 2007
It is proposed that the concept of transparent telepresence can be closely approached through high fidelity technological mediation. It is argued that the matching of the system capabilities to those of the human user will yield a strong sense of immersion and presence at a remote site. Some applications of such a system are noted.
