Virtual Conferences
This is a collection of links and information I've put together about virtual conferences.
Why
- To reduce carbon footprint
- To deal with viral pandemics
How
- A very good collection of resources on reducing conference travel
In more detail
Here are some ideas that I came up with some time back, in discussions with Robbert van Renesse
Interaction modes
There are multiple interaction modes, which may need different solutions depending on the conference size
- 1-many stored video
- Archival conference record
- 1-many live video in parallel with many-many text-oriented discussions on the ongoing presentation
- Plenary presentations
- 1-1 informal hallway conversations leveraging past history of interaction or creating new connections
- Ability to have one-on-ones with ‘heros’
- Multiple synchronous small group interaction – e.g. a demo/poster session
- Ability to hop around, like a poster session
- Ability to see demos being done, with VNC-like control
- Find out which demo is popular
- Need a whiteboard, leave a message for others
- Schedule presentations of the poster at a particular time
- Asynchronous interaction
- Speaker may give the same presentation multiple times to deal with time zones, or at least have multiple interaction sessions
- Like a MOOC lecture with multiple flipped classroom, on EdX
Tools/Resources available today
- 1-many live video in parallel with many-many text-oriented discussions on the ongoing presentation
- Remote presenters can record videos for presentation at conference and answer questions on the phone or in a text-based chat room
- Trialed at SIGCOMM 2016 and worked well
- 1-1 informal hallway conversations
- Skype/Zoom for audio/video communication and ‘rooms’
- Need to have effective feedback cancellation and muting
- Other conferencing tools include Livestream and ConcertWindow
- Poster and demos
- Skype/Zoom for audio/video communication and ‘rooms’
- Maybe can use VNC for remote demos
- 1-1 informal hallway conversations
- Remote participation robots?
- Herring, Susan C. "Telepresence robots for academics." Proceedings of the American Society for Information Science and Technology 50.1 (2013): 1-4.
- Tried at CHI with limited success and great cost
- Asynchronous interaction
