媒体空间和视频会议系统有利于连接分散的同事并提供丰富的上下文信息。然而，图像共享通信工具也可能触及人类心理中与个人、感知图像问题（例如，外表、自我形象、自我呈现和虚荣）相关的敏感点。我们进行了两项用户研究，以考察自我形象问题对媒体空间和视频会议系统使用的影响。我们的结果表明，个人、感知的形象问题对用户的舒适度有相当大的影响，并可能阻碍有效的沟通[8]。我们还发现图像过滤技术可以帮助用户感觉更舒服。我们的结果显示，经常被引用来帮助保护隐私的失真滤波器往往不是用户的首选。相反，用户似乎更喜欢对外观进行细微改变的滤镜，或者在某些情况下，他们更喜欢使用替代品。
Media spaces and videoconference systems are beneficial for connecting separated co-workers and providing rich contextual information. However, image sharing communication tools may also touch on sensitive spots of the human psyche related to personal, perceived image issues (e.g., appearance, self-image, self-presentation and vanity). We conducted two user studies to examine the impact of self-image concerns on the use of media spaces and videoconference systems. Our results suggest that personal, perceived image concerns have a considerable impact on the comfort level of users and may hinder effective communication [8]. We also found that image filtering techniques can help users feel more comfortable. Our results revealed that distortion filters, which are frequently cited to help preserve privacy, do not tend to be the ones preferred by users. Instead, users seemed to favor filters that make subtle changes to their appearance, or, in some instances, they preferred to use a surrogate instead.
