Abstract
The paper discusses recent developments in mobile remote presence (MRP) and argues that providing support for referential gesturing is critically important for exploiting the full potential of MRP systems in creating inclusive smart environments. By bringing in insights from research in interaction design and related fields the paper proposes a set of tentative requirements to referential gesturing support for MRP systems. Some of the key challenges for designing referential gesturing in the context of mobile remote presence are identified.
