Dynamic world design and social navigation in a theatre of work

Authors Info & Claims
Published:31 March 2001Publication History

ABSTRACT

We describe a novel approach for collaborative work, in which a three-dimensional theatre of work visualizes the work process and enables social encounters. This type of system has potential applications for co-located virtual teams which, though geographically dispersed, work together by the use of modern information technology. We introduce TOWER, the Theatre of Work, which allows project members to be aware of project relevant activities as well as to establish social relationships to intensify team coherence. In this paper we focus on the design of dynamic virtual environments and social navigation.
