| Abstract | Over the past few years, our group has developed and studied a variety of video-based prototypes to support remote collaboration. We started with a basic desktop video conferencing system with a shared whiteboard and found that it was effective in supporting a distributed group’s conversations, but that many of their attempts to contact each other were unsuccessful. We went on to build another desktop video conferencing prototype called Montage, which focuses on awareness and helps people find good times to interact by integrating other coordination and collaboration tools. We also built Forum, which allows people to give live, interactive video-based presentations to distributed audiences. We describe the methods we used to study the long-term use of these prototypes among existing distributed groups and the lessons we learned by doing so. Finally, we discuss the roles that video plays in supporting distributed collaboration and we enumerate a list of design principles for those who wish to use video to support such activity. |
