title = "miVirtualSeat: A Next Generation Hybrid Telepresence System",
abstract = "Post COVID, teleconferencing systems such as Zoom, Teams, and Webex have become a part of our daily life. As many employees have returned to work part-time in person, hybrid teleconferencing has become the norm. However, current solutions are not well equipped to make remote participants part of the holistic conversation that may exist in the physical meeting room space. In this lightning contribution, we present the design of miVirtualSeat, a telepresence system for small hybrid meetings with an architectural vision in which remote and physical participants feel co-presence. We will discuss the architectural design constructs of miVirtualSeat for remote and physical participants, and the services and protocols that provide underlying support.",
