This request originated via recent discussions on HN, and the forming of HARC! at YC Research. I'll be around for most of the day today (though the early evening).

Hi Alan,

Whats the next step to improve remote working? Face to face still seems to be so superior for relationship building and problem solving despite the wealth of video conferencing, social and collaboration tools we have. I don't want to wear goggles...

thanks!

Take a look at Hiroshi Ishii's "Clearboard" etc (look on YouTube)

I skype frequently. To feel connected, simply having the camera imbedded in the monitor itself is enough to convince the other person that I'm looking at them in the eye.
