A special video communication application, which enables spatially separated users to have a joint dinner experience, served as a common basis for the different test conditions. Results of the study show that the overall concept of roomXT was well eceived by users of a wide age range and that the developed prototype system seems to be preferred to commercially available video communication solutions with respect to the tested quality dimensions.}}, author = {{Kasugai, Kai and Heidrich, Felix and Röcker, Carsten and Russell, Peter and Ziefle, Martina}}, booktitle = {{Proceedings of the 2012 International Symposium on Pervasive Displays}}, editor = {{José, Rui}}, isbn = {{978-145-031-414-5 }}, keywords = {{human-computer interaction, mixed-reality, large displays, co-dining, interactive media, family communication, co-presence, architecture}}, location = {{Porto, Portugal }}, pages = {{1--6}}, publisher = {{ACM}}, title = {{{Perspective Views in Video Communication Systems: An Analysis of Fundamental User Requirements}}}, doi = {{10.1145/2307798.2307811}}, year = {{2012}}, } @inproceedings{4479, abstract = {{This paper reports on the first international workshop on Aesthetic Intelligence.
