Topics candidates
Heed Typers When Voice Comes
Hypothesis: Voice is coming to SL and will bring new capabilities
Problem: Discrimination of typers in type-voice coexsiting environment
- 1.Typers are slower, making it more difficult to fit into conversations
- 2.Voice users may feel annoyed by chat windows, or get used to minimizing the window
- 3.Clash of typing sounds with voice
Why should we think of protecting the rights of typers?
- 1. May not be able to speak (mute, soar throat)
- 2. Situation where you cannot use voice (office)
- 3. Personal reasons (Don't like sound of voice/doesn't suit identity of avatar/want to keep level of privacy/stutter,lisp, accent)
- 4. Multitasking (chat while listening to music, etc.)
- 5. Efficiency in certain situations(Group chats, lectures)
Questions to Ask Ourselves
- 1. Who should be given the right to decide whether the zone is voice, text, or voice-text?
- 2. How can we create awareness?
- 3. Are we calling for technical attention from Linden or social attention from residents?
Solution/Action: "Heed Typers" Campaign?
Presentation Method Ideas:
- 1. Create rooms with streaming audio boxes.
- 2. Create machinima
