title: A pilot study of nonverbal cues in videotelecommunication.
abstract: With the increasing popularity of low-cost videocommunications systems and their attendant low bandwidth-resolution problems, receivers are likely to experience difficulties in recognising the sender's intended expression and feeling. As an extension of previous work in the area, this pilot study investigated the effects of three forms of degraded imaging (and their combined effects) on the nonverbal aspects of communication for one person. Degraded video messages significantly impaired the meaning of the sender.
