I saw a 60" Samsung smart TV for $900 at costco with thin edges and pretty flat back face and only about 3" thick that I thought was suitable for the TOC table. The picture quality
was good. I can get contrast and other data if there is interest to go in that direction.
• How can we handle time zone differences: three hours between Montreal and Phoenix, 8 or 9 hours between Phoenix and London or Athens?
• How do people mix live events with recorded audio, video or documents?
• How do people mix the table with “foveal” media such as the talking-heads videos of remote interlocutors?

Hi
We agreed to timetable to do a bit more thoughtful experimenting
Friday 11 AM (??)
Weekend implement solutions un BY390
Tuesday 12 noon - 1:00 EXPERIMENT
Wed 11:00 - 1:00 EXPERIMENT
night: post low res good audio raw video so SC + TML can see both videos
Thurs write up
individual paragraphs
lit reviews!
Fri review paper Skype
XW review weekend , Evan or XW submit
Please think about SOCIAL etiquettes to solve these questions, and type ideas into the Google doc so we can look them over?
• How should people coordinate and interleave their interventions using tokens, gesture, vocal signals, etc.?
• How can we handle time zone differences: three hours between Montreal and Phoenix, 8 or 9 hours between Phoenix and London or Athens?
• How do people mix live events with recorded audio, video or documents?
• How do people mix the table with “foveal” media such as the talking-heads videos of remote interlocutors?
We have no more time for real engineering. Only for hardware tweaks such as moving gear, installing better microphone etc.
Need MUCH clearer video on table top
use monitor on table?? We cannot solve monitor feedback problem this week, so
we need to figure out a different solution to improve video quality:
install a much better projector OR
mount projector CLOSE (1 meter image) to the table ?
Garrett: work with Connor + Ozzie on video display.
Try out Batons ideas
Fake fiducial markers
try out
Install Omni mic
borrow one now, order one for BY 390?
Think about how can we deal with time zone difference ?
and implement social etiquette?
Review other solutions for augmented office meetings
Xerox PARC, MIT , Japan had HUGE amount of research on this:
who can REVIEW that literature
and write a paragraph for this paper ?
