This mode supports reflection. What would you like to reflect on? Reflections on the Poster Session with oVice Please press the “Good”, “Bad”, or “Want to try” button in the input field. The Good What good things have happened? Unlike Zoom’s breakout rooms, you can see who is where without leaving the place, even if they are dispersed. What kind of “Zoom” is this “Zoom”? By default, everyone is in one room and all speech is shared, but if you do a breakout room, you can split into multiple rooms with that form of communication. What kind of “breakout room” is this “breakout room”? The problem is that when a small group of people are put in a breakout room, it’s uncomfortable, like being locked in a small room. Is there anything else you can tell us about that “breakout room”? The Good What good things have happened? The psychological hurdle to entering and exiting the booth has been lowered because there is no clear boundary to the booth. What “hurdles” are those “hurdles”? It was observed that many people seem to have psychological resistance to entering the Zoom or breakout room Where is that “breakout room” located? Inside Zoom Is there anything else about that “Zoom”? Because you can’t see what’s going on inside until you enter, you can be afraid, for example, that you alone might be surrounded by waiting presenters and forced to communicate with them. What kind of “fear” is that “fear”? The Good What good things have happened? Pre-determined “mark of intent not to be spoken to”. What kind of “mark of intention not to be spoken to” is that “mark of intention not to be spoken to”? oVice’s function to give pictograms to personal display icons, use it. What kind of “oVice” is that “oVice”? A system in which personal display icons move around on a two-dimensional space, and voice connections are made only with those who are nearby. What kind of “personal display icon” is that “personal display icon”? Some people had their own faces, others left the system auto-generated. What kind of “auto-generation” is this “auto-generation”? The Bad What bad things have happened? I took a seat at random, and the desk in the prime spot right after I walked in was empty. What do you hope will happen to you in such a situation? It would be a waste if it were not used effectively, so I decided to call it a chatting space. What kind of “chat space” is this “chat space”? I thought it would be good to have a free space without restraints, since the individual booths were associated with individual posters, so the topics were restricted. What kind of “booth” is this “booth”? The Good What good things have happened? I stuck the video in the booth and played it on repeat. Is there anything else you can tell us about that “booth”? Someone was visiting the booth’s and watching the video, and I marked him without talking to him, so I left him alone. How do you know its “booth”? The Bad What bad things have happened? Screen sharing, for example, cannot be made a fixed object, so it disappears when you leave the booth. What do you hope will happen to you in such a situation? If you take video in advance, it won’t disappear, but it’s hard to advance or stop the slides as needed, and it takes a lot of preparation man-hours in advance.

• Screen sharing, etc. cannot be made a fixed object, so it disappears when you leave the booth.

• Where is this “booth” located? They’re scattered all over the screen.

• Screen sharing, etc. cannot be made a fixed object, so it disappears when you leave the booth.

• Where is this “booth” located? The Bad What bad things have happened? The range of the voice was much smaller than the physical metaphor, so it was sometimes subtle whether the other person could hear me or not. What do you hope will happen to you in such a situation? The Bad What bad things have happened? If I play the video on repeat in my booth and I am there, it is painful to hear the sound all the time, is there a way to mute it only for me? In the physical world, it’s hard to hear the sound in the first place, even if you play it, because of the crowds, so do you have to explain it with subtitles, etc.? Maybe I should have done that. What do you hope will happen to you in such a situation? Would have been nice to have a video without sound. What kind of “video” is this “video”? Now the video is a recording of the presentation, so it’s me talking the whole time. Is there anything else about that “video”? When I was doing poster sessions in the physical world, I printed them out and put them on the wall so they didn’t make noise and the readers could read at their own pace, but the area available for reading was limited due to the space on the wall. What kind of “poster” is this “poster”? Oh, we called it a poster session, as is customary, but no one did posters like we did in the physical world. Is there anything else you can tell us about that “poster”? The area available per person was scarcer than in the physical world, so several people who thought that a static exhibition was not enough at all ran in the direction of creating moving images. Where is this “video” located? I was able to put it on YouTube because it does not contain private information, but some people were hesitant to put it there. What kind of “person” is this “person”? You’re a tightly coupled person for an unpublished project at headquarters, my project is quite loosely coupled, so I rather made a video after the poster session with the intention of mentioning it on social media, etc. How do you know its “video”? Videos by such people can’t be embedded in oVice, so you have to put a link and click a few times to get the content, which is a big difference from YouTube videos that just play when you get close to them. What would you like to see happen with regard to that “video”? Removing information that is tightly coupled with the headquarters from the videos is not appropriate because it is a direction contrary to the purpose of the association, which is to share information between the headquarters and the laboratory. The video side remains the same, but the system needs to change so that any video can be posted. What needs to happen to the “video” for that to happen?
