设计活动，如头脑风暴或评论，经常发生在开放的空间结合白板和桌子，以呈现文物。在同一地点的环境中，周边意识使参与者能够轻松地了解彼此的注意力所在地。然而，这些空间线索在使用视频会议工具时大多丢失。远程呈现机器人可以带回存在感，但控制它们会分散注意力。为了解决这个问题，我们提出了ReMotion，一个全自动的机器人代理，旨在探索一种新的方式来支持非并置开放空间设计活动。ReMotion结合了一个商品身体跟踪器（Kinect），以捕捉用户的位置和方向在一个广泛的区域与微创可穿戴系统（NeckFace）捕捉面部表情。由于其全向平台，ReMotion实施例可以呈现各种各样的身体运动。形成性评价表明，我们的系统增强了注意力的共享和共同存在的感觉，使无缝的运动在空间中的设计审查任务。
Design activities, such as brainstorming or critique, often take place in open spaces combining whiteboards and tables to present artefacts. In co-located settings, peripheral awareness enables participants to understand each other’s locus of attention with ease. However, these spatial cues are mostly lost while using videoconferencing tools. Telepresence robots could bring back a sense of presence, but controlling them is distracting. To address this problem, we present ReMotion, a fully automatic robotic proxy designed to explore a new way of supporting non-collocated open-space design activities. ReMotion combines a commodity body tracker (Kinect) to capture a user’s location and orientation over a wide area with a minimally invasive wearable system (NeckFace) to capture facial expressions. Due to its omnidirectional platform, ReMotion embodiment can render a wide range of body movements. A formative evaluation indicated that our system enhances the sharing of attention and the sense of co-presence enabling seamless movement-in-space during a design review task.
