Abstract: | The way we communicate has changed and we are increasingly making use of video conferencing (VC) tools such as Teams or Zoom. As a result of the social restrictions introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic, the popularity of this form of communication has skyrocketed recently. Although these tools are an effective way to maintain relationships remotely, they are still limited in terms of creating a sense of connection with the people on the other side and the interaction does not come as natural as a physical encounter. The goal of this project is to present a new video communication system, tailored to the user's needs for personal communication, that provides a more natural, fluid and immersive experience, while offering optimal usability. A UCD (user-centered design) methodology has been followed. The results obtained from desk research, research on user needs and exploration on the application of extended reality in this context (in collaboration with TNO) have been applied in the elaboration of a functional prototype. The design of the new VC tool is based on a multi-screen-multi-platform approach and encompasses the implementation of augmented reality. The prototype has been positively evaluated and improved based on the results of a usability test. |
