    摘要: Existing remote workspace sharing systems are difficult to use. For example, changes made on a common work product by one user often appear abruptly on displays viewed by remote users. As a result the interaction is perceived as unnatural by the users and is often inefficient. Images of a display of a common work product are received from a camera at a first location. These images may also comprise information about objects between the display and the camera such as a user's hand editing a document on a tablet PC. These images are combined with images of the shared work product and displayed at remote locations. Advance information about remote user actions is then visible and facilitates collaborative mediation between users. Depth information may be used to influence the process of combining the images.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for uniquely identifying wireless devices in close physical proximity are described. When two wireless devices are brought into close proximity, one of the devices displays an optical indicator, such as a light pattern. This device then sends messages to other devices which are within wireless range to cause them to use any light sensor to detect a signal. In an embodiment, the light sensor is a camera and the detected signal is an image captured by the camera. Each device then sends data identifying what was detected back to the device displaying the pattern. By analyzing this data, the first device can determine which other device detected the indicator that it displayed and therefore determine that this device is within close physical proximity. In an example, the first device is an interactive surface arranged to identify the wireless addresses of devices which are placed on the surface.

    摘要: Telepresence of a mobile user (MU) utilizing a mobile device (MD) and remote users who are participating in a telepresence session is optimized. The MD receives video of a first remote user (FRU). Whenever the MU gestures with the MD using a first motion, video of the FRU is displayed. The MD can also receive video and audio of the FRU and a second remote user (SRU), display a workspace, and reproduce the audio of the FRU and SRU in a default manner. Whenever the MU gestures with the MD using the first motion, video of the FRU is displayed and audio of the FRU and SRU is reproduced in a manner that accentuates the FRU. Whenever the MU gestures with the MD using a second motion, video of the SRU is displayed and audio of the FRU and SRU is reproduced in a manner that accentuates the SRU.
