چکیده
In webcasts that involve both a local and remote audience, the amount of interaction with remote participants is typically very limited. Video conferencing offers a much higher level of interactivity, but is constrained by high bandwidth requirements and poor scalability.

متن کاملWhat Do Remote Music Performances Lack?
Our research interest is in supporting live music performances for remote audiences. Using the Evaluation Grid Method (EGM), we have analyzed why music audiences prefer live shows to recorded media and have found that a sense of unity is one of the important factors. It can be at least partly reproduced at the remote site by sharing information on audiences’ reactions.
