BeWithMe
Samarth Singhal, Carman Neustaedter · 2017
Current telepresence systems are limited by the use of standard, narrow field-of-view cameras and are mainly designed to support indoor conversations. We propose a novel immersive telepresence system designed for long distance couples called "BeWithMe" which presents the entire 360-degree view of a partner's location with an independent perspective to control the view. We expect couples to use the system for sharing their daily activities, experiences, and to gain an understanding of each other's physical space. In this paper, we will explain the overview of the design principles, system design, and discuss the viewing experience.
