  15. KMi’s experience • KMi Stadium • 7 years of ‘virtual classrooms’ • ‘Remote telepresence’

  16. Key thoughts/steps • ‘Killer app’ / ‘Killer game’ misguided • ‘Pure presence’ is what appeals to users • ‘Dots on maps’ can scale up…. • …filtering + smart clustering algorithm • ‘Buddy list’ -> ‘Buddy Space’ • Screensaver = inobtrusive!

  17. Real OU student database (157,000 students)… ANONYMIZED and zoomed out to coarse granularityto protect privacy • Zoom maps grabbed live on the net…

  18. Real-time ‘map grab’ • Colour-coded filters • ‘Centre of gravity’ clustering • Post-code/national ‘force-fields’

  19. Custom displays • Geographical – high-quality maps (just licensed ‘Maps in Minutes’) • Logical (e.g. corporate campus, ‘tower block’, etc.) • ‘Artistic’ (Mexican wave, Graffiti wall, Tetris, etc.)
