ABSTRACT
For an increasing amount of people (especially young people), the mobile phone, and not the computer, is becoming their main media device and portal to the virtual world. Mobile phones have become a ubiquitous technology and for many people an important tool for communication and information access. Mobile telephony offers an interesting platform for building multipresence-enabled applications that utilize the phone as a social or commercial assistant. The main objective of this research is to develop multipresence-enabled audio windowing systems for visualization, attention, and privacy awareness of narrowcasting (selection) functions in collaborative virtual environments (CVEs) for mobile devices such as 3rd- and 4th-generation mobile phones. Mobile audio windowing system enhances auditory information on mobile phones and encourages modernization of office- and mobile-based conferencing.
