This paper describes a design exploration, implementation, and evaluation of Perspectives, a novel hybrid meeting system that aimed to create an inclusive and equitable space for hybrid meetings. Perspectives digitally composites everyone into a virtual room so that each person has a unique but spatially consistent viewpoint into the meeting. The user study compared Perspectives with three commercially available UX designs for hybrid meetings: Gallery, Together Mode, and Front Row. Results from this study revealed key benefits of Perspectives, including supporting natural interactions, creating a strong sense of co-presence, and reducing cognitive load. Results from the study also helped iterate on the design principles of Perspectives, which offer important insights on supporting hybrid meetings.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/perspectives-creating-inclusive-and-equitable-hybrid-meeting-experiences/}, journal = {Proceedings of ACM on Human-Computer Interaction (PACM-HCI)}, volume = {7}, number = {CSCW2}, }
