3D Global Virtual Teaming Environment

Based on research conducted at a large multinational corporation, we identified several unique requirements for global team collaboration. Our findings included that two-thirds of employees work on distributed teams and the same percentage also work on multiple teams. These and other data led us to seek a solution that would seamlessly support the complexities discovered while enhancing team and personal productivity. To adequately represent the complexities, we needed an object-oriented information workspace where the use of a 3D user interface allows users to retain multiple contexts. We chose an environment already developed by Intel Research, Miramar, as a prototyping vehicle
