Virtual 3D immersive collaborative systems for remote collaboration are on the rise due to the tough times of COVID 19, where people are forced to work remotely. However, it is a cumbersome task to explore and figure out these changes in a virtual 3D environment as one has to navigate through time and space coordinates. For smooth collaboration, the collaborators need to be aware of all the events happening in the scene, which leads us to explore ’Change awareness’. Change awareness is the idea of being aware of the changes made by collaborators to an artifacts/ group of artifacts in the context of their collaborative project. This project explores the idea of maintaining change awareness during remote collaboration in a virtual 3D environment. Moreover, we present various design implications to incorporate in the existing 3D systems to enhance change awareness. We also provide a working 3D prototype of these systems incorporated with the above solutions to establish their effectiveness. |
