Abstract

This paper gives an overview of the ongoing project STellaR – A stationary telepresence counselling system for collaborative work on paper documents. The system consists of dedicated rooms for video counselling, which clients can use to connect to a remotely located counselor without requiring any knowledge about computers or the internet. STellaR rooms are equipped with a large monitor, high quality microphone, camera, and sound system, which represent the counselor in life size.
The system enables a collaborative work on paper documents, that are still widely used in e.g., debt counselling. These documents are scanned and transmitted to the counselor. Through the use of projectors, the counselor can point, mark and annotate the paper documents. Furthermore, the digitized paper documents are archived in a block chain. This enables to track their states of editing over several counselling sessions.
We describe the developments on the system that have already taken place, as well as planned, future work.
