Abstract
Like other communication media, a Collaborative Virtual Environment (CVE) enables interaction under certain characteristics. Here, the main display of nonverbal cues is through a graphical representation of the user in a computer-created environment; in such a way that nonverbal behavior in CVEs varies, not only because of the people and the scenario involved as in a face-to-face situation, but also because of technical and design issues. In order to present an overview of the nonverbal interaction conditions in this technology, the study of nonverbal interaction in face-to-face situations is here contextualized in CVEs.
