It leverages a physical artifact dedicated to representing remote family members to make it easier to share activities with them. HomeProxy combines a form factor designed for the home environment with a “no-touch” user experience and an interface that responsively transitions between recorded and live video messages. We designed and implemented a prototype and conducted a pilot study with eight pairs of users. Our study demonstrated the challenges of a no-touch interface and the promise of offering quick video messaging in the home.}, publisher = {ACM Conference on Human Computer Interaction Paris, 2013}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/homeproxy-exploring-a-physical-proxy-for-video-communication-in-the-home/}, edition = {ACM Conference on Human Computer Interaction (CHI 2013)}, }
