Abstract:
In this paper we present TAM-TAM (Tele Assistance and Monitoring), a tool devised to provide assistive and intuitive videoconferencing. It can be used to provide social support, remote consultation, remote monitoring and training or rehabilitation group sessions through multi-user videoconferencing. TAM-TAM relies on a simple and minimalist interface based on accessible standard web technologies and open video streaming solutions. We also describe our progress for bringing TAM-TAM mobile, targeting Android and iOS tablet PCs and mobile market.
