Bridging physical and virtual group meetings with a PC and multiple hand-held devices

ABSTRACT

This paper describes the design of a physical/virtual meeting support system. The goal of the system is to function as a bridge between physical and virtual meetings. A use scenario is outlined, the system is described, and the underlying approach that has guided the design is presented.
