Over Distance
Media Informatics Advanced Seminar, Winter Term 2011 (bib)

This report provides an overview of current research trends dealing with various problems over distance. There are various applications domains ranging from haptic interfaces, interactive surfaces, collaboration to telepresence robots.
During the winter term 2011, students from the Computer Science Department at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich did research on specific topics related to over distance problems and analyzed various publications. This report comprises a selection of papers that resulted from the seminar.
Each chapter presents a survey of current trends, developments, and research with regard to a specific topic. Although the students background is computer science, their work includes interdisciplinary viewpoints such as theories, methods, and findings from interaction design, ergonomics, hardware design and many more. Therefore, the report is targeted at anyone who is interested in the various facets of over distance interaction and representation.
