“…Notably, the term Collaborative Virtual Environments has been coined by several authors (Kirner et al, 2001;Redfern and Naughton, 2002) to describe immersive environments that accommodate multiple users, typically as a result of networking individual units. Given the ability of fulldomes to accommodate multiple users, there is a practical opportunity to explore the role of collaboration in IVEs, allowing users to communicate directly, rather than through computer mediation.…”

One of the most recent additions to the range of Immersive Virtual Environments has been the digital fulldome. However, not much empirical research has been conducted to explore its potential and benefits over other types of presentation formats. In this review we provide a framework within which to examine the properties of fulldome environments and compare them to those of other existing immersive digital environments. We review the state-of-the-art of virtual reality technology, and then survey core areas of psychology relevant to experiences in the fulldome, including visual perception, attention, memory, social factors and individual differences. Building on the existing research within these domains, we propose potential directions for empirical investigation that highlight the great potential of the fulldome in teaching, learning and research.

“…However, an important issue is emerging both because of the creation of remote access platforms that can be used by researchers into the same topics through sharing on wiki-sites, thus allowing efficient and rapid inference (Web3D Consortium, 2006; The Elder Scrolls Construction Set Wiki; Kimer et al, 2001), and because more and more (simplified) models are available on the Internet, which offers a means of publication and of interactive experience of information. The issue is that these processes are so popular and so sought after by consumers that the present demand for models and instruments adapted to their needs makes their creation imperative (Hartman and Wernecke, 1996).…”

Interfaces in two dimensions, like buttons and menus, are been used for 35 years. Technologies have been developed to extend interfaces for tridimensional environment. One of them, called Augmented Reality, is being viewed due to the ease on interaction with the virtual environment. By other side, due to complexity of human tasks, people are getting together to perform tasks through collaborative groups, named groupware. This article proposes a system that does collaboration and has easy interactivity and immersion, by using augmented reality resources. This integration is not so easy to find out on current market, and it is a great motivation for this innovation. The project can help several areas like, for example, distance education, engineering, architecture and marketing. Results show the viability of the system, and its efficiency in applications that needs easy manipulation of projects and high degree of immersion of users, offering facility to activities at real time, without network congestion and in a collaborative way.
