The paper focuses on virtual teamwork. Effective autonomous teams can be built as virtual cross boundary teams. This opportunity opens space for creating number of fully involved and motivated teams of expert, disabled people included, around the world prepared to solve tasks together at the same

The use of virtual environments (VE) for teaching and training is increasing rapidly. A particular popular medium for implementing such applications are game engines. However, just changing game content is usually insufficient for creating effective training and teaching scenarios. In this paper

outcomes to encompass professional educational outcomes, including the ability to communicate and function effectively on multidisciplinary teams. As a result, greater emphasis is placed on teaching students the teamwork principles and associated communication competencies necessary for a healthy

Abstract The learning process supported by ICT is the very matter of fact nowadays. One of the effective forms of elearning work methods seems to be virtual teamwork. In fact, the opportunity to communicate together, the large space for co-operation and the possibility to increase the ability

Deep dyslexia is an acquired reading disorder marked by the occurrence of semantic errors (e.g., reading RIVER as "ocean"). In addition, patients exhibit a number of other symptoms, including visual and morphological effects in their errors, a part-of-speech effect, and an advantage

This document reports an experiment intended to show that realworld wayfinding and environmental design principles are effective in designing virtual worlds which support skilled wayfinding behavior. The design principles are adapted from both the cognitive psychology literature and urban

People have severe problems wayfinding in large virtual worlds. However, current implementations of virtual worlds provide little support for effective wayfinding. We assert that knowledge about human wayfinding in the physical world can be applied to construct aids for wayfinding in virtual worlds

, and to suggest possibilities for new techniques, it is important to move beyond point design and to introduce careful scientific measurement of human behavioral principles. In particular, we argue that the common-sense viewpoint that “two hands save time by working in parallel ” may not always be an effective

. In essence, enabling collaborative capability through virtual teamwork represents a fundamental transitioning to more effective organizational work practices. In this paper, a conceptual overview of the people, processes and technologies for supporting virtual teamwork is examined and applied to integrated

the efficiency of a surgical team and as such reduce costs and workload. We present an inexpensive camera-based system for capturing aspects of non-verbal communication of users participating in virtual environment-based teamwork simulations. This data can be used for the enhancement of virtual
