Abstract
This paper discusses domestic video calling over the TV and how such an experience might be enhanced through Awareness and Context Sharing. Video based Awareness will provide a sense of visually being together outside the call, such that users feel more connected and the perceived barrier to entry into the call is lowered. Rich Context Sharing within the call allows conversations to flow more freely as callers throw items from each others’ lives onto the ‘table’ for discussion. We also discuss some mechanisms for transition between awareness and a context enriched call and structure the paper around a family scenario.
