Object-focused interaction in collaborative virtual environments
Special issue on human-computer interaction and collaborative virtual environments

This paper explores and evaluates the support for object-focused interaction provided by a desktop Collaborative Virtual Environment. An experimental “design” task was conducted, and video recordings of the participants' activities facilitated an ...
Collaborative Virtual Environments, Real-Time Video and Networking
VSMM '97: Proceedings of the 1997 International Conference on Virtual Systems and MultiMedia

Two real life workplaces, a Studio and an Office are described. Both have Virtual and Mixed Reality counterparts. Issues of work process and social interaction taken from CSCW are utilized to understand the functionalities that virtual studios and ...
Carpeno: interfacing remote collaborative virtual environments with table-top interaction

Creativity is enhanced by communication and collaboration. Thus, the increasing number of distributed creative tasks requires better support from computer-mediated communication and collaborative tools. In this paper we introduce “Carpeno”, a new system ...
