Beyond the Desktop: Emerging Technologies for Supporting 3D Collaborative Teams
نویسندگان
چکیده
The emergence of several trends, including the increased availability of wireless networks, miniaturization of electronics and sensing technologies, and novel input and output devices, is creating a demand for integrated, fulltime displays for use across a wide range of applications, including collaborative environments. In this paper, we present and discuss emerging visualization methods we are developing particularly as they relate to deployable displays and displays worn on the body to support mobile users.

Global Virtual Teams and 3D Collaborative Virtual Environments
Collaborative virtual environments for desktop PCs. are inherently interesting to use and to develop, and provide motivating and challenging capstone projects for capable students to undertake. From an educational perspective, collaboration in virtual three-dimensional spaces using avatars also adds some interesting dimensions to student learning. This paper reports upon a series of development...
متن کاملA review of telecollaboration technologies with respect to closely coupled collaboration
Globalisation and an increasingly multi-disciplinary collaboration drive the need for efficient ways to collaborate within distant teams. Although existing computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW) systems, such as collaborative video-conferencing and shared desktops, are suitable for certain tasks, most of these systems have two major deficiencies. First they support the situation of face to ...
متن کاملCollaborative Design Studio : a sketch - based environment to support rich distant collaboration
An increasing number of large scale projects requires that distant teams collaborate together remotely. At the same time, the current CAD tools only offer minimal support for partial and asynchronous interactions. The application we propose enables full synchronous and remote sketch-based collaborative design. This setup is a combination of a virtual desktop (a remote meeting table), a standard...
متن کاملAn Architectural Model to Support Collaborative Work through Mobile Devices
Groupware applications play a major role in supporting distributed teams for working together collaboratively. Several groupware platforms have been developed to simplify the development of synchronous and asynchronous applications focusing on relieve developers from facing standard problems such as communication, synchronization, coordination or concurrency control. Upcoming communication tech...

This paper presents a software framework, called Collaborator, to provide a shared work-space supporting the activities of virtual teams. This system exploits seamless integration of standard Web technologies with agent technologies, enhancing the classic Web communication mechanisms to support synchronous sharing of applications, and its use through emerging technologies such as: third generat...
