ABSTRACT
In this paper, we describe a collaborative navigation task in CVE. As a work in process, we present a process model of the task and design an experiment to test hypotheses generated by this process model. Using this experimental approach, we investigated the effect of the dimension of egocentric-exocentric perspectives on collaborative navigation performance. Results favor an egocentric perspective display. We also discuss the implications of this work for the design of interaction techniques to support collaborative navigation and awareness in CVE.

A review of telecollaboration technologies with respect to closely coupled collaboration
Many existing Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) systems have two major deficiencies. Firstly, they support the situation of face-to-face meetings poorly. Secondly, many systems deal badly with data sets and workspaces. This paper outlines the ...
