The INSITU research team has been exploring mediated communication for over a decade. The EU interLiving project developed a suite of devices of varying bandwidth to explore multi-scale communication among remote family and friends. The Digiscope project will provide a unique opportunity to extend these ideas to address remote communication across multi-surface interactive environments featuring interactive tables and wall-sized displays. The goal of this thesis is to design and evaluate new technologies and to develop theoretical principles for mediated remote communication. The student will create interaction and communication techniques that address use of context, diverse bandwidth, accommodating asymmetry and co-adaptive designs.
