Social experiences that use handheld mobile Augmented Reality with 6DOF tracking can potentially recreate the dynamics of in-person meetings, while still being more accessible than HMD based solutions. We describe a design space of possible avatars for such a platform along the dimensions of body part visibility and the type of movement. We propose a study that aims to measure the effect of five avatar types on social presence during group collaboration.
