Still, most of the applications are… single-user (or a small group)

Desktop VR is much more social … so far
![Page 28: VR as cooperation technology lecture](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081401/557c0954d8b42aef788b51b4/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

What are Virtual Worlds?
En environment 1. Multiuser 2. Synchronous 3. Persistent 4. Facilitated by networked computers
o Three-dimensional graphical desktop interphase o Social Worlds/Game Worlds

Social Virtual Worlds
![Page 30: VR as cooperation technology lecture](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081401/557c0954d8b42aef788b51b4/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

How can Virtual Worlds support cooperation?
1. Communication among users 2. Collaborative work 3. Access to resources
![Page 31: VR as cooperation technology lecture](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081401/557c0954d8b42aef788b51b4/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
1. Communication among users
+ Great support for synchronous activities + Sense of presence and Awareness + Text + voice + avatar gestures and
navigation ‒ Low support for asynchronous activities ‒ High level of disruption ‒ High connection speed demand
![Page 32: VR as cooperation technology lecture](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081401/557c0954d8b42aef788b51b4/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
2. Collaborative work
+ Sense of presence – good for meetings, discussion, simulations, and role playing
+ Shared artifacts – all types of media + Awareness – high ‒ No special functions for coordination ‒ Rare convenient tools for the flat media ‒ Resource demanding
![Page 33: VR as cooperation technology lecture](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081401/557c0954d8b42aef788b51b4/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
3. Access to resources
+ All types of media + Multiple resources in a single environment + Dynamics of the content + Interactivity of the content ‒ Ambiguous meaning of visual symbols ‒ More time required to develop/import ‒ Not suitable for large amounts of simple
data
