Abstract

The chapter delves into the development and potential of STellaR, a stationary telepresence counselling system designed to facilitate collaborative work on paper documents. It addresses the challenges of online counselling, particularly for clients with limited access to high-end technology. The system incorporates high-quality video and audio equipment to mimic face-to-face sessions, along with document cameras and projectors to enable real-time collaboration on physical documents. The chapter outlines the three phases of development, including immersive videoconferencing, document recognition, and document augmentation with persistence. It also discusses the co-creation approach with users, emphasizing the importance of feedback and evaluation in each phase. The goal is to create a user-friendly tool that enhances the counselling experience for both clients and counsellors, making services more accessible and effective.
This research and development project is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) within the funding program “Forschung an Fachhochschulen” (13FH034SX8). The project is in cooperation with Bundesarbeitsgemeinschaft der Freien Wohlfahrtspflege (BAGFW) e.V., Deutscher Caritasverband e.V. and AWO Unterbezirk Hagen-Märkischer Kreis.
