Zusammenfassung:A plurality of users, each using a dedicated individual computing device in their own physical space, can automatically and passively communicate with each other to provide live, clear, accurate presence information to each other, while maintaining better privacy than a standard video stream provides. A dynamic representation of presence may be implemented, for example, as a video presence stream, which may be intentionally pixelated and/or blurred so as to preserve privacy. Mechanisms are described to allow users to use such video presence streams to automatically and/or manually communicate current presence information to others within a group.
