Abstract

This report introduces a hybrid asynchronous, distributed audio/video group conferencing system. One of the chief benefits of Internet communication systems is that they allow communicators to write messages when they need to, and read messages when they can. Researchers, developers, and lay citizens are increasingly familiar with one of the benefits of e-mail and online text conferencing systems: the ability to use asynchronous, store-and-forward and retrieve-ondemand technologies for communication. However, most theories of interactive technologies suggest that users would achieve more accurate interpersonal perceptions and more effective and efficient work transactions if all visual and auditory non-verbal cues were available via desktop communication systems. Synchronous multimedia communication technologies achieve this, but forego the benefits of store-andforward and retrieve-on-demand. The technological barrier has been in wedding asynchronous communication to the storage, indexing, and retrieval of sound and video.

Video support for shared work-space interaction: an empirical study
Mark Apperley

Interacting with Computers, 1995

A study has been carried out to identify the effects of different human-to-human communication modes on dyadic computer supported group work. A pilot study evaluated an available shared work-space software system, supplemented by face-to-face, telephone-based, and text-based communication modes between the two users. The findings from this study were then used to design an extensive experiment to explore the relative impact of face-to-face, full motion video, slow motion video, and audio only communication modes when used in conjunction with this type of CSCW system. This paper describes the experiments, and examines the findings of this empirical study with the aim of establishing the importance of co-presence 1 in CSCW, and the effectiveness of these various communication modes in achieving it.

Evaluating the effectiveness of communication media on remote collaboration
Rahul Malik

2010

Different institutions worldwide, such as economic, social and political, are relying increasingly on the communication technology to perform a variety of functions: holding remote business meetings, discussing design issues in product development, enabling consumers to remain connected with their families and children, and so on. In this environment, where geographic and temporal boundaries are shrinking rapidly, electronic communication medium are playing an important role. With recent advances in 3D sensing, computing on new hardware platforms, high bandwidth communication connectivity and 3D display technology, the vision of 3D video-teleconferencing and of tele-immersive experience has become very attractive. These advances lead to tele-immersive communication systems that enable 3D interactive experience in a virtual space consisting of objects born in physical and virtual environments. This experience is achieved by fusing real-time color plus depth video of physical scenes from multiple stereo cameras located at different geographic sites, displaying 3D reconstructions of physical and virtual objects, and performing computations to facilitate interactions between objects. While tele-immersive (TI) systems have been attracting a lot of attention these days, the advantages of enabled interactions and delivered 3D content for viewing as opposed to current 2D high definition video have not been evaluated. In this paper, we study the effectiveness of three different types of communication media on remote collaboration in order to document the pros and cons of new technologies such as TI. The three communication media include 3D video tele-immersive, 2D video Skype and face-to-face used in a collaborative environment of a remote product development scenario. Through a study done over 90 subjects, we discuss the strengths and weaknesses of different media and propose a scope for improvement in each of them.

Acquiring Working Knowledge through Asynchronous Multimedia Conferencing
Cleo Sgouropoulou

Educational Technology & Society, 2000

Asynchronous text-based communication has long been established as having value in supporting the collaborative sharing of knowledge. However, in cases where learners or practitioners are seeking to acquire skills applicable in real-world working contexts, this kind of technology proves to be insufficient. Asynchronous multimedia conferencing seems both suitable and sufficient for supporting such a process. This paper presents a Web-based system for the support of co-ordinated, asynchronous multimedia discussions, based on a video representation of real-world working practices.

Key Issues in Desktop Video Conferencing: An Exploratory Examination of an Electronic Community
Gary Hackbarth

1998

Desktop Video Conferencing (DVC) allows individuals to share video, audio and text communications from their personal computers. Electronic communities link users that share a common interest. By studying one such community dedicated to DVC technology using a content analysis methodology, we hope to discover insights into this much-touted technology. Introduction Desktop Video Conferencing (DVC) continues to excite the imagination but seems stagnated in an endless loop of incremental improvements. Academic and practitioner articles expound the eventual adoption of DVC as part of routine business transactions and customer service applications but adoption lags behind intent. Some have proposed that DVC could have the potential to alter interorganizational (e.g. electronic commerce) and intraorganizational (e.g. DSS, group dynamics) and ultimately basic societal relationships. The expansion of business and interpersonal applications through increased bandwidth will allow participants ...

Current Trends and Developments, Future Requirements, and Predictions for Computer Mediated Communications and E-Collaboration
Alfie Keary

Knowledge Discovery, Transfer, and Management in the Information Age, 2014

This chapter provides a revision and update to the authors' original 2012 research that discussed fifteen semi-structured interviews carried out with international industry experts and thought leaders within the computer mediated communications and e-collaboration field. The original interviews focused on 5, 10, and 15-year time frames, and sought to elicit predictions on the components and services of future platforms, as well as their likely impact on business processes and value chains. Affinity Diagramming/KJ Analysis techniques on the original interview transcripts exposed a number of key tenets that are now revisited, discussed in a current context, revised and updated in this chapter. Following a similar structure to the 2012 paper, the authors discuss the origins of the field, main providers and platforms, related software development technologies, W3C standards, video conferencing, telepresence, cloud computing and Enterprise 2.0. The authors provide a synopsis of the original interviews and have updated their

Video meeting signals: Experimental evidence for a technique to improve the experience of video conferencing
Paul Hills

We found evidence from two experiments that a simple set of gestural techniques can improve the experience of online meetings. Video conferencing technology has practical benefits, but psychological costs. It has allowed industry, education and social interactions to continue in some form during the covid-19 lockdowns. But it has left many users feeling fatigued and socially isolated, perhaps because the limitations of video conferencing disrupt users' ability to coordinate interactions and foster social affiliation. Video Meeting Signals (VMS™) is a simple technique that uses gestures to overcome some of these limitations. First, we carried out a randomised controlled trial with over 100 students, in which half underwent a short training session in VMS. All participants rated their subjective experience of two weekly seminars, and transcripts were objectively coded for the valence of language used. Compared to controls, students with VMS training rated their personal experience, their feelings toward their seminar group, and their perceived learning outcomes as significantly higher. Also, they were more likely to use positive language and less likely to use negative language. A second, larger experiment replicated the first, and added a condition where groups were given a version of the VMS training but taught to use emoji response buttons rather than gestures to signal the same information. The emoji-trained groups did not experience the same improvement as the VMS groups. By exploiting the specific benefits of gestural communication, VMS has great potential to overcome the psychological problems of group video meetings.

Supporting Collaboration and Communication in Videoconferences
Manuela Paechter

Learning from Computer-Supported and Virtual Environments, 2010

Working together in a group may lead to advantages such as a higher task performance, gains in individual knowledge or social skills, or a higher motivation. In many situations of our daily life, the members of a group cannot meet face-to-face to work together but have to rely on communication media. This paper focuses on collaboration with the support of specific communication media, namely videoconferences. Two empirical studies will be described. The first study shows that groups which communicate via videoconferences for solving a task can achieve the same results as face-to-face groups. In order to achieve results equivalent to face-to-face groups, videoconference groups have to adapt their communication behavior to the specific characteristics of videoconferences. In the second study presented in this chapter, different trainings for collaboration in videoconferences will be investigated. One of the trainings in which students learned rules for collaborative problem-solving pr...

The promise and peril of parallel chat in video meetings for work
Abigail Sellen

Extended Abstracts of the 2021 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

We report the opportunities and challenges of parallel chat in workrelated video meetings, drawing on a study of Microsoft employees' remote meeting experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. We find that parallel chat allows groups to communicate flexibly without interrupting the main conversation, coordinate action around shared resources, and also improves inclusivity. On the other hand, parallel chat can also be distracting, overwhelming, and cause information asymmetries. Further, we find that whether an individual views parallel chat as a net positive in meetings is subject to the complex interactions between meeting type, personal habits, and intentional group practices. We suggest opportunities for tools and practices to capitalise on the strengths of parallel chat and mitigate its weaknesses.

Comparison of Social Presence in Voice-Based and Text-Based Asynchronous Computer Conferences
Nova Spd

2009

The significance of social presence in asynchronous computer conferencing has become an increasingly important factor in establishing high-quality online learning environments. Levels of social presence exhibited in asynchronous computer conferences influence students perceptions of learning and satisfaction levels in Web-based courses. Recently, faculty teaching online courses have begun to use voice-based asynchronous conferencing tools with little research to support the appropriateness of the media. Deployment of voicebased technology as a pedagogical tool is delivered at a considerable cost to higher education institutions. These tools are often marketed based on the effectiveness of the technology in a learning environment. However, according to this study, there is no apparent benefit in using voice-based rather than text-based technology tools to facilitate asynchronous computer conferences in a Web-based learning environment.

Conversational effectiveness in multimedia communications
David Novick

Information Technology & People, 1995

Due to the fact that we observed real meetings with naturalistic data, we were unable to measure directly the overall effectiveness of communication in the different conditions. Other research has shown that characteristics such as back-channels and interruptions are related to task outcome. Laboratory studies are needed to measure the effects on task outcome of disrupting the different conversation characteristics under more controlled conditions (O'Conaill et al., 1993, citations omitted). Accordingly, our approach to assessing the effectiveness of new communications technology centres on performance and subjective satisfaction measures in a laboratory experiment in which alternative communications modalities are used for the performance of controlled tasks. The outcome of this research will, we hope, be a deeper understanding of the factors that contribute to the effectiveness of communications and communications technology for collaborative work, as well as some practical methods that can be used to study and evaluate situated communication. Communication modality When collaborators are co-located in space and time, they typically communicate "face-to-face," which is to say they use spoken language accompanied by expressive sounds and gestures (such as laughing, groaning, whistling, smiling, frowning, eyebrow raising, head nodding, hand waving, and pointing). However, would-be collaborators do not always find it convenient or possible to be in the same place at the same time, and so they may engage in mediated communication. Mediated communication can take on a variety of forms, which include using a human messenger, writing letters, sending electronic mail, talking on the telephone, leaving a recorded voice message, and communicating via a multimedia workstation. These forms of communication can be classified and differentiated in a variety of ways. Some forms use spoken language, while others use written language. Some forms are synchronous, allowing interaction in real time, while others are asynchronous. Some forms support only verbal communication, while others also support some degree of visual communication, such as expressions and gestures. Some forms support formal, highly structured language and action, while others support informal, conversational interaction. Finally, some forms of mediation impose rigid constraints-that is, they force communication to be, say, written, asynchronous, visual, and purely verbal; others are more flexible in that they allow communication to be either written or spoken, synchronous or asynchronous, visual and auditory, verbal and non-verbal, formal or informal. In the research literature, specific systems for mediated communication and the dimensions along which they vary have been referred to as communication modalities. Face-to-face communication has also been regarded as a modality (Chapanis et al., 1972; 1977). ITP 8,1 56 Modality and cooperative work Communication is central to the concept of cooperative work (see, e.g. Malone and Crowston, 1990; Reder and Schwab, 1988)). Communication systems for cooperative work are being developed in a variety of modalities that reflect the space of possible mediating characteristics. Some of these systems are asynchronous; examples include electronic mail servers and other structured information systems such as The Coordinator (Winograd, 1988), gIBIS (Conklin and Begeman, 1988), and COSMOS (Bowers and Churcher, 1988). Other systems are synchronous; examples include shared editors, teleconferencing systems, and multimedia computing environments. Systems also vary on the dimensions of visual versus non-visual, written versus oral, and formal versus informal. Synchronous, informal, oral and visual interaction for cooperative work necessarily requires communication and computing systems that employ multiple media. Multimedia communications can be supported via computercontrolled audio and video channels external to the computer display, with communication to and from individual workstations. This style of interaction was developed for CRUISER (

Contrasting time mode and sensory modality in the performance of computer mediated groups using asynchronous videoconferencing
James Watt

37th Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, 2004. Proceedings of the, 2004

This research examined the question of whether perceptions of media as inferior to face to face are socially or technologically determined. It takes advantage of a recently developed asynchronous videoconferencing system to compare the perceptions and outcomes of group projects done in a multi-cue asynchronous media to those of face to face groups. Participants engaged in collaboration over 5 weeks to develop group oral reports. Measures of social presence, conversational involvement, perceived effectiveness, and ratings of group project quality were compared between communication conditions. Results showed significant differences favoring face-to-face communication for several perceptual variables, but not for perceived or actual effectiveness. Results are discussed with respect to their pertinence for several theories, and for their illumination of some historical theoretical and measurement biases in computer-mediated communication research.

Some Objective and Subjective Differences Between Communication Over Two Videoconferencing Systems
Myron Wish

IEEE Transactions on Communications, 1980

Abstruct-This pilot study examines one feature of a videoconferencing system, namely, the view that conferees get of participants in the other location. The current voice-switched (VS) videoconferencing arrangement was compared to a "continuous presence" (CP) system that provides conferees with the simultaneous view of all participants throughout the meeting. Groups met twice, once over each system; the task in each session involved a problem-solving discussion for which an objective measure of solution quality was available. Questionnaires were administered after each experimental session to assess subjects' opinions about the videoconferencing systems, as well as their perceptions of the nature, style, and outcome of the group interaction. Results based on the objective measure of solution quality show an advantage for CP over .VS that is statistically significant. Questionnaire responses indicate large and significant preferences for CP for all items in which the two systems are directly compared. There are also significant differences for some items involving evaluations of a single system at a time; that is, the CP interaction is perceived to have more of the feel of a face-to-face meeting, to be more efficient, and to be somewhat friendlier. These latter differences are attributable, however, to implicit comparisons between the two systems after both have been experienced.

Why Do Users Like Video? Studies of Multimedia-Supported Collaboration
John Tang

Computer Supported Cooperative Work, 1992

Three studies of collaborative activity were conducted as part of research in developing multimedia technology to support collaboration. One study surveyed users' opinions of their use of video conference rooms. Users indicated that the availability of the video conference rooms was too limited, audio quality needed improvement, and a shared drawing space was needed. A second study analyzed videotapes of a work group when meeting face-to-face, video conferencing, and phone conferencing. The analyses found that the noticeable audio delay in video conferencing made it difficult for the participants to manage turn-taking and coordinate eye glances. In the third study, a distributed team was observed under three conditions: using their existing collaboration tools, adding a desktop conferencing prototype (audio, video, and shared drawing tool), and subtracting the video capability from the prototype. Qualitative and quantitative data were collected by videotaping the team, interviewing the team members individually, and recording their usage of the phone, electronic mail, face-to-face meetings, and desktop conferencing. The team's use of the desktop conferencing prototype dropped significantly when the video capability was removed. Analysis of the videotape data showed how the video channel was used to help mediate their interaction and convey visual information. Desktop conferencing apparently reduced e-mail usage and was perceived to reduce the number of shorter, two-person, face-to-face meetings.
