Geocaching with a beam: Shared outdoor activities through a telepresence robot with 360 degree viewing
People often enjoy sharing outdoor activities together such as walking and hiking. However, when family and friends are separated by distance it can be difficult if not impossible to share such activities. We explore this design space by investigating the benefits and challenges of using a teleprese...

YANG, Lillian People often enjoy sharing outdoor activities together such as walking and hiking. However, when family and friends are separated by distance it can be difficult if not impossible to share such activities. We explore this design space by investigating the benefits and challenges of using a telepresence robot to support outdoor leisure activities. In our study, participants participated in the outdoor activity of geocaching where one person geocached with the help of a remote partner via a telepresence robot. We compared a wide field of view (WFOV) camera to a 360° camera. Results show the benefits of having a physical embodiment and a sense of immersion with the 360° view.

These findings illustrate the need to design telepresence robots with the environment and public in mind to provide an enhanced sensory experience while balancing safety and privacy issues resulting from being amongst the general public. 2018-04-01T07:00:00Z text application/pdf https://ink.library.smu.edu.sg/sis_research/7974 info:doi/10.1145/3173574.3173933 https://ink.library.smu.edu.sg/context/sis_research/article/8977/viewcontent/3173574.3173933.pdf http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems eng Institutional Knowledge at Singapore Management University Geocaching Leisure activities Social presence Telepresence robots Video communication Graphics and Human Computer Interfaces |
