Abstract
Three public spaces frequently used by members of a single organization who are distributed
across different floors of two buildings were linked by constantly-running video and audio
connections. We discuss the design of the system, including issues in providing low-latency fullduplex audio-video connectivity, ways to increase possibilities for interaction while addressing
privacy concerns, and the introduction of the system to the community. We report on responses
to the system and lessons learned, including unexpected issues, such as creative decorations of
the spaces and assertions by a vocal minority of employees about the private nature of “public
space.―
