“…Here we need to mention again that our questions about contribution closely followed the questions that have been used in previous studies about 'leadership' [7,9]. The difference in the current study is that we studied pairs of participants, whereas other studies have often involved three participants.…”

“…By co-presence we mean the subjective sense of being together or being co-located with another person in a computer-generated environment; a definition that has been used in other studies [7,9,11]. In order to find out how co-present the participants felt, using the different systems, we asked two similar questions about how much the participants had a sense of being in the same room as their partner (on a scale of 1-5 where 1= to a very small extent and 5= to a very high extent): ''To what extent did you have a sense of being in the same room as your partner?''…”

In this paper we present the results of a trial in which two participants collaborated on a puzzle-solving task in networked virtual environments. The task was a Rubik's cube type puzzle, and this meant that the two participants had to interact with the space and with each other very intensivelyFand they did this successfully despite the limitation of the networked situation. We compare collaboration in networked immersive projection technology (IPT's) systems with previous results concerning collaboration in an IPT system linked with a desktop computer, and also with collaboration on the same task in the real world. Our findings show that the task performance in networked IPT's and in the real scenario are very similar to each otherFwhereas IPT-to-desktop performance is much poorer. Results about participants' experience of 'presence', 'co-presence' and collaboration shed further light on these findings. r

We have developed techniques called Mobile Group Dynamics (MGDs), which help groups of people to work together while they travel around large-scale virtual environments. MGDs explicitly showed the groups that people had formed themselves into, and helped people move around together and communicate over extended distances. The techniques were evaluated in the context of an urban planning application, by providing one batch of participants with MGDs and another with an interface based on conventional collaborative virtual environments (CVEs). Participants with MGDs spent nearly twice as much time in close proximity (within 10m of their nearest neighbor), communicated seven times more than participants with a conventional interface, and exhibited real-world patterns of behavior such as staying together over an extended period of time and regrouping after periods of separation. The study has implications for CVE designers, because it shows how MGDs improves groupwork in CVEs.

“…9. Leadership: Steed, Slater, Sadagic, Bullock & Tromp (1999): This study investigated how a small group of three strangers would interact when brought together in a virtual environment to perform a task. In the first experiment, ten teams were studied; but, only one person was immersed in the environment.…”
