TL;DR
This study investigates how stable visual landmarks in virtual collaborative environments enhance shared understanding and partner awareness, thereby improving collaborative effectiveness.
Contribution
It provides experimental evidence that stable landmarks help build a common environment representation and increase presence awareness.
Findings
Stable landmarks improve shared environment understanding
Landmarks increase partner presence awareness
Enhanced collaboration through better environment comprehension
Abstract
Virtual collaborative environment are 3D shared spaces in which people can work together. To collaborate through these systems, users must have a shared comprehension of the environment. The objective of this experimental study was to determine if visual stable landmarks improve the construction of a common representation of the virtual environment and thus facilitate collaboration. This seems to increase the awareness of the partner's presence.
