Abstract: A system facilitates managing one or more devices utilized for communicating data within a telepresence session. A telepresence session can be initiated within a communication framework that includes a first user and one or more second users. In response to determining a temporary absence of the first user from the telepresence session, a recordation of the telepresence session is initialized to enable a playback of a portion or a summary of the telepresence session that the first user has missed.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide solutions that enable accurate tracking of users' statuses to provide real life presence information. The real life presence information can be used to enable meetings to be dynamically scheduled, thus making efficient use of a user's time and resources.

Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates replicating a telepresence session with a real world physical meeting. A telepresence session can be initiated within a communication framework that includes two or more virtually represented users that communicate therein. A trigger component can monitor the telepresence session in real time to identify a participant interaction with an object, wherein the object is at least one of a real world physical object or a virtually represented object within the telepresence session. A feedback component can implement a force feedback to at least one participant within the telepresence session based upon the identified participant interaction with the object, wherein the force feedback is employed via a device associated with at least one participant.

Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates managing one or more devices utilized for communicating data within a telepresence session. A telepresence session can be initiated within a communication framework that includes two or more virtually represented users that communicate therein. A device can be utilized by at least one virtually represented user that enables communication within the telepresence session, the device includes at least one of an input to transmit a portion of a communication to the telepresence session or an output to receive a portion of a communication from the telepresence session. A detection component can adjust at least one of the input related to the device or the output related to the device based upon the identification of a cue, the cue is at least one of a movement detected, an event detected, or an ambient variation.

Abstract: A system may facilitate “almost automatic” sharing of content by regularly selecting content to be shared, and by publishing the content to certain entities if a person agrees, or does not object, to the sharing. A content item may be selected based on a criterion. A proposal to share the content item then may be displayed to a person. The proposal may specify a time by which the content item will be published if the proposal is not rejected. The person may explicitly accept or reject the proposal, or may passively allow the content to publish by not rejecting the proposal before the specified time. The content may be published so as to be receivable by a set of one or more entities that have been designated to receive shared content items.

Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates interacting with data associated with a telepresence session. A telepresence session can be initiated within a communication framework that includes two or more virtually represented users that communicate therein. A portion of data can be virtually represented within the telepresence session in which at least one virtually represented user interacts therewith. A detect component can monitor motions related to at least one virtually represented user to identify a gesture, the gesture involves a virtual interaction with the portion of data within the telepresence session. An interaction component can implement a manipulation to the portion of data virtually represented within the telepresence session based upon the identified gesture.

Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates enhancing the employment of a telepresence session. An automatic telepresence engine that can evaluate data associated with at least one of an attendee, a schedule for an attendee, or a portion of an electronic communication for an attendee. The automatic telepresence engine can identify at least one the following for a telepresence session based upon the evaluated data: a participant to include for the telepresence session, a portion of data related to a presentation within the telepresence session, a portion of data related to a meeting topic within the telepresence session, a device utilized by an attendee to communicate within the telepresence session. The automatic telepresence engine can initiate the telepresence session within a communication framework that includes two or more virtually represented users that communicate therein.
