Constructing a gazebo: supporting teamwork in a tightly coupled, distributed task in virtual reality (2003)
Journal Article
Roberts, D., Wolff, R., Otto, O., & Steed, A. (2003). Constructing a gazebo: supporting teamwork in a tightly coupled, distributed task in virtual reality. https://doi.org/10.1162/105474603322955932

Many tasks require teamwork. Team members may work concurrently, but there must be some occasions of coming together. Collaborative virtual environments (CVEs) allow distributed teams to come together across distance to share a task. Studies of CVE s...
