Call for Participants
PRESENCE 2020 Bonus Session: Exploring Visual Collaboration Platforms
February 2021 (date TBD)
Free and online
Deadline for expressions of interest: February 4, 2021
Whether or not you attended the PRESENCE 2020 conference last October, the organizing committee invites you to participate in a free bonus session in which we’ll gather online to explore a handful visual collaboration platforms (including Zoom, Mozilla Hubs and others to be selected) and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each for evoking spatial and social presence. Aside from the (social) experience itself the goal will be to write a conference or journal paper with our evaluations and recommendations for the design and use of these and similar platforms to optimize presence (building on a related session at PRESENCE 2018 in Prague in which several people joined us via WebEx and we had a similar discussion).
If you think you might be interested in joining us, please fill out the short webform at the URL below by Thursday February 4 to help us identify the participants and determine the date and platforms for the session. Here is the link:

Let us know if you have questions and we hope to “be with you” for the session next month…
