General information<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Poster session for TQC 2021 will be held using the remote conferencing platform Remo, which mimics an in-person event. Each poster will be assigned a \u201ctable\u201d (i.e., a group video chat room with a virtual whiteboard) where presenters will upload their poster in the PDF format. The participants will be able to interact with poster presenters using text chat, video call or the whiteboard. Participants of the discussion can also share their screen to help the discussion. The distribution of posters across the \u201cbuildings\u201d and \u201cfloors\u201d (see Poster session schedule\/floors<\/strong>) is available online<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Poster session will be purely browser-based. Up-to-date versions of Firefox, Chrome, Edge and Safari on Windows or Mac are\u00a0supported<\/a>; other combinations of browsers \/ operating systems may not work. In particular, the Poster\u00a0session cannot be attended using a mobile device<\/strong>\u00a0(the Whiteboard and\/or screen sharing is not supported by Remo on mobile devices). Visit\u00a0https:\/\/geartest.remo.co<\/a>\u00a0to verify that your system satisfies the requirements (even though Linux is not officially supported by Remo, you may find it possible to use the Remo platform on Linux systems anyway). To use the video-chat feature, you must grant your browser access to your microphone and camera.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below are detailed instructions on how to access and use the TQC 2021 Poster session. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the Poster session<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Poster session schedule\/floors<\/strong> <\/h6>\n\n\n\n

The event can only be accessed during the scheduled sessions (on Tuesday, July 6th, and on Wednesday, July 7th). To access the event, follow the \u201cLog in\u201d instructions below. During each session the posters will be divided across two different Remo \u201cbuildings\u201d (on Tuesday these buildings will be labelled \u201cA\u201d and \u201cB\u201d, on Wednesday \u201cC\u201d and \u201cD\u201d. If only a single building is necessary on either day, then only \u201cA\u201d or \u201cC\u201d will be present, respectively). In each building, there are five \u201cfloors\u201d. On the first floor, the Help Desk is located; here you can talk to the organizers and their staff. The remaining \u201ctables\u201d serve as a testing place and the landing area for the users joining the event for the first time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The remaining floors are designated for poster presentations. Each of those floors has nine tables designated for poster presentations and labelled accordingly (e.g., A3P024 for poster #024<\/strong>, which will be situated on the 3<\/strong>rd floor of the building \u201cA<\/strong>\u201d). At most eight people at a time (seven visitors and one presenter) can be at one table. In addition, a few unnamed tables will be available on each floor, which can be used for private (video-) conversations between participants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Floors can be changed using the elevator-like panel on the left (see Figure 1); you can switch between the buildings using the button indicated in Figure 1.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Log in to your account if you are already registered for Remo, or enter your email address to register for Remo. After joining the Poster session, you will be \u201cseated\u201d at a random \u201ctable\u201d (typically on the first floor unless it is already full). Then you can  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Each poster will be presented at its own designated table, named accordingly; the name indicates the building and floor, and the table is identified by the poster\u2019s number (e.g., A3P024 for poster #024<\/strong>, which will be situated on the 3<\/strong>rd floor of the building \u201cA<\/strong>\u201d). The table name for each poster will be posted on TQC website. The right billboard also indicates the available posters in the buildings, see Figure 1 and Figure 4.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To visit a particular poster, navigate to the respective building and floor; when you have found the designated table, double click on the table to be seated at it (provided that there is a free spot left at the table). You should see your icon (showing your photo or first initial) displayed at your table, see \u201cThe circle with your icon indicates the table you are at\u201d in Figure 1. To check out the poster, click the \u201cWhiteboard\u201d button in the main toolbar (alternatively, the presenter may decide to present their poster via screen sharing instead of the Whiteboard). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    NB!<\/strong> When joining a table, ensure your microphone is muted. Unmute yourself to ask questions, but remember to turn the microphone back off when you are not speaking. We suggest that you leave your camera on when participating the Poster session. Notice that Remo allows guests to annotate and change the contents of the Whiteboard; please use this option only with presenter\u2019s permission. The Poster session will be moderated for disruptive behavior. Please do ask presenter\u2019s permission before downloading, sharing or recording the poster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Once you open the Whiteboard, the poster in all likelihood will have extremely low resolution at first. Please allow a few minutes for the PDF to load and be displayed correctly. If the issue persists even after 10 minutes, please contact TQC staff (either at the HelpDesk on the first floor in \u201cA\u201d or \u201cC\u201d buildings or by sending us an email).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can turn on your camera and microphone in the main toolbar (Figure 5). Notice that you can only talk to the people that are seated at the same table as you. Click on \u201cTile view\u201d (or double-click on somebody\u2019s video) to have large-size video feeds (or enlarge the shared screen if somebody has activated the \u201cShare\u201d button), and switch back to the map view by clicking on \u201cBack to Floor\u201d in the main toolbar. You can also use the chat function from the main toolbar to send a message <\/p>\n\n\n\n
