Abstract
In this poster, we present a Virtual Reality environment, named MetaCUX (Collaborative User eXperience in the Metaverse), where people may collaborate in a virtual workplace and interact with intelligent objects for simulating real tasks. Several multi-user workplace scenarios were reproduced in the MetaCUX, on which an experimental study has been carried out involving 15 participants. To analyze remote collaboration small group of participants performed a task consisting in putting out a fire. Self-reported surveys and qualitative measures are adopted to investigate the effectiveness of social interaction during the collaborative activity.
