Abstract

3D Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVEs) have been in the focus of CSCW research for some time. This paper presents a study comparing teamwork done in a CVE with teamwork done in a 2D remote condition and a F2F control condition. The tasks done were designed for groups without prior knowledge; they did not favor any of the environments. In some dependent variables, the 3D environment outperformed the other conditions while in others it kept on par.
