Interest in hybrid collaboration and meetings (HCM), where several co-located participants engage in coordinated work with remote participants, is gaining unprecedented momentum after the rapid shift in working from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, while the interest is new, researchers have been exploring HCM phenomena for decades, albeit dispersed across diverse research traditions, using different terms, definitions, and frameworks. In this article, we present a systematic literature review of the contexts and tools of HCM in the ACM Digital Library. We obtained approximately 1,200 results, which were narrowed down to 62 key articles. We report on the terms, citations, venues, authors, domains, study types, and data of these publications and present a taxonomic overview based on their reported hybrid settings' actual characteristics. We discuss why the SLR resulted in a relatively small number of publications, and then as a corollary, discuss how some excluded high-profile publications flesh out the SLR findings to provide important additional concepts. The SLR itself covers the ACM until November 2019, so our discussion also includes relevant 2020 and 2021 publications. The end result is a baseline that researchers and designers can use in shaping the post-COVID-19 future of HCM systems.

“…Even though the majority of studies conducted during Q3 were colocated (N=60), three papers reported on studies that used a mixedmethods approach, and a substantial increase in remote studies was found when compared to Q2 (N=25). One of these papers reported to deliver specialist equipment to participants, for synchronous, remote communication whilst flying drones [49]. The remaining studies employed participants with access to equipment, which; for the most part (N=14), involved desktop-based set ups.…”

“…Desktop-based remote studies in Q3 were notably made up of perception studies [16,57], surveys [39,59,68], walkthroughs [13,42] and interviews with experts [8,20,59] and/or amateurs [42,49]; as well as one distributed elicitation study [2]. Similar to Q1, studies that used mobile technologies (HMD, phone or tablet) were generally web based [15,57], or required the user to download an application [44,50].…”

“…Other studies chose to widen their sample pool by delivering equipment to their participants [10]. For example, as opposed to targeting drone-owners, Sabet et al [49] opted to recruit users with no experience; by providing them with the hardware required. Although such methods are often impractical, especially when COVID-19 restrictions are in place with limited access to lab equipment [46,55]; or due to the cost of AR/VR hardware [61], providing users with devices or targeting non-crowdsourced participants, is likely a preferable approach; especially if an in-depth user study is desired.…”

Since the emergence of COVID-19 in late 2019, there has been a significant disturbance in human-to-human interaction that has changed the way we conduct user studies in the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), especially for extended (augmented, mixed, and virtual) reality (XR). To uncover how XR research has adapted throughout the pandemic, this paper presents a review of user study methodology adaptations from a corpus of 951 papers. This corpus of papers covers CORE 2021 A* published conference submissions, from Q2 2020 through to Q1 2021 (IEEE ISMAR, ACM CHI, IEEE VR). The review highlights how methodologies were changed and reported; sparking discussions surrounding how methods should be conveyed and to what extent research should be contextualised, by drawing on external topical factors such as COVID-19, to maximise usefulness and perspective for future studies. We provide a set of initial guidelines based on our findings, posing key considerations for researchers when reporting on user studies during uncertain and unprecedented times.
