TouchFace: the interaction between cursors and live video images for casual videoconferencing

Authors Info & Claims
Published:16 August 2010Publication History

ABSTRACT

We present a set of interaction techniques called "TouchFace" for casual videoconferencing among people in close relationships. It enables users to experience the sense of "touching" without the need for any special devices using interactions between cursors and live video images. After presenting the design guidelines underlying TouchFace, we describe a prototype following these guidelines. We conclude by presenting the results of a preliminary study.
