</u></font>Resumo da palestra: <br><br>
A user's videoconferencing experience often parallels that of the <br>
videoconferencing history: the vision and expectation at first is <br>
invariably followed by frustrations and disappointments. A set of common
<br>
assumptions has emerged from these collective experiences. By designing,
<br>
implementing, and evaluating a multiparty videoconferencing system, we
<br>
provide evidence to challenge four common assumptions about <br>
videoconferencing: (1) high-fidelity low-latency AV requires expensive
<br>
hardware, (2) extensive training is required for installation and <br>
operation, (3) life-size displays of remote participants are ideal, and
<br>
(4) eye contact is not possible. Next, I will give a demo of the world´s
<br>
first software-based TV-quality videoconferencing system. The software
<br>
embeds as a web component, and transforms Internet Explorer into a <br>
videoconferencing portal; as a consequence, the software does not require
<br>
installation and can be started as easily as clicking on a web
page.<br><br>

Milton Chen is a Ph.D. student in Human Computer Interaction at Stanford
<br>
University. He graduated from UC Berkeley with a degree of Bachelor of
<br>
Science in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science with highest
honors. <br>
He worked as a media researcher at Intel’s Microcomputer Research Lab for
<br>
three years, where he built a large stereoscopic display, implemented a
3D <br>
graphics toolkit, and created an interactive digital television program
