Designers and Collaborative Virtual Environments

چکیده
This chapter provides an overview of the technical and social issues of CVEs and their impact on designers. The development of CVEs has lead to new ways for designers to collaborate and new kinds of places for designers to design. As a new technology for collaborative design, CVEs impact the collaborative process by facilitating movement between working together and working individually. As new technologies for interacting with CVEs include tangible interfaces, we can expect to see changes in the perception of the design that lead to changes in spatial focus.

Affording Embodiment in Collaborative Virtual Environments: What is the Role of Presence in Collaborative Design?
Collaborative virtual environments have potential to change the ways in which designers communicate and work. Different virtual environments provide different affordances which have an impact on designer’s actions. We conduct a study to investigate designers’ interaction and behaviour in four collaborative environments, using protocol analysis. The results indicate that types of representation ...
متن کاملVirtual Environments for Collaborative Design: Requirements and Guidelines from a Social Action Perspective
The paper is concerned with the design of virtual environments for collaborative design (VECD) a particular class of collaborative virtual environments (CVEs) that focus on supporting design activities. VECD are becoming essential collaboration platforms for many designers and their clients, in a wide range of design domains including product, interior, architectural, automotive design etc. How...
متن کاملImpact of Collaborative Virtual Environments on Design Behaviour
A collaborative design environment makes assumptions about how the designers communicate and represent their design ideas. These assumptions, including the availability of sketching, 3D modelling, and walking around virtual worlds with avatars, effectively make some actions easier and others more difficult. An analysis of design behaviour in different virtual environments can highlight the impa...
متن کاملAssembly Simulation on Collaborative Haptic Virtual Environments
Currently, Virtual Environments (VEs) are used within engineering industry: physical prototypes or mock-ups are replaced by virtual prototypes. Increasingly, these VEs also allow designers and engineers to carry out assembly/disassembly processes and assembly sequences before any physical prototype is built. Moreover, different designers or engineers, which may be situated in the same or in geo...
متن کاملDesigning collaborative learning model in online learning environments
Introduction: Most online learning environments are challenging for the design of collaborative learning activities to achieve high-level learning skills. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to design and validate a model for collaborative learning in online learning environments. Methods: The research method used in this study was a mixed method, including qualitative content analysis and...
