My dissertation project aims at creating an always-on visual connection between remote architectural spaces to foster a sense of shared presence.  It overlaps the spaces by portraying multiple live video portals of the remote space to local displays placed on the periphery of the users’ attention. 

The implementation also creates an intermediary visual representation portraying an estimate of the 3D position of the cameras' viewpoints and image planes, enabling users to better understand the geometry and spatial arrangement of the remote space, which also help them mapping those remote views to the local displays.  The evaluation investigates uCom’s ability to enhance user’s perception of a remote workspace’s geometry. 

The system is under construction.  It uses  OpenGL, objective-C on the Mac OS Cocoa Framework, and Noah Snavely's Bundler - a structure-from-motion system for unordered image collections.
