About
Jason Procyk is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of human-computer interaction, accessibility, and the future of academic collaboration. His most influential contribution, the widely cited paper "To Beam or Not to Beam" (2016, 121 citations), fundamentally reframes how we think about conference participation. Rather than treating remote attendance as a second-class experience, Procyk systematically investigates the barriers—travel restrictions, time constraints, and accessibility challenges—that prevent researchers from attending in person. He then explores how telepresence technologies can create meaningful, equitable alternatives. This work has become a cornerstone for discussions on inclusive academic practices, influencing both conference organizers and technology designers. By centering the needs of researchers who are often marginalized by traditional travel-heavy models—including those with disabilities, caregiving responsibilities, or limited funding—Procyk’s research has helped shift the conversation from "can we attend remotely?" to "how can we attend well?" His scholarship continues to shape how the global research community thinks about presence, participation, and the very structure of academic exchange.
