| Abstract | The dominant paradigm for video chat employs a single camera at each end of the con-versation, but some conversations can be greatly enhanced by using multiple cameras at one or both ends. This paper provides the first rigorous investigation of multi-camera video chat, concentrating especially on the ability of users to switch between views at either end of the conversation. A user study of 23 individuals analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of permitting a user to switch between views at a remote location. Benchmark experiments em-ploying up to four webcams simultaneously demonstrate that multi-camera video chat is feasible on consumer hardware. The paper also presents the design of MultiCam, a software package permitting multi-camera video chat. Some important trade-offs in the design of MultiCam are discussed, and typical usage scenarios are analyzed. 1 ar X iv |
