Perceptive view - how light messages share perceptions of a remote atmosphere

In this paper, we explore the possible ways to communicate a ‘point of view’. We discuss how images can be abstracted to form impressionable ways of communicating a remote context and how this can contribute to people’s perception and appreciation of remote atmospheres. Through increasing speed and complexity of communication services, functional and practical values have often precluded more sensorial and ambient experiences that support relationships over distance. Here we consider how the use of peripheral visual information from one place can be portrayed within a remote situation as an abstract visual experience, to share the sensations and feeling of that remote place.
