Abstract
Telepresence of a mobile user (MU) utilizing a mobile device (MD) and remote users who are participating in a telepresence session is optimized. The MD receives video of a first remote user (FRU). Whenever the MU gestures with the MD using a first motion, video of the FRU is displayed. The MD can also receive video and audio of the FRU and a second remote user (SRU), display a workspace, and reproduce the audio of the FRU and SRU in a default manner. Whenever the MU gestures with the MD using the first motion, video of the FRU is displayed and audio of the FRU and SRU is reproduced in a manner that accentuates the FRU. Whenever the MU gestures with the MD using a second motion, video of the SRU is displayed and audio of the FRU and SRU is reproduced in a manner that accentuates the SRU.
