In-Depth Information
In the Planning stage, only one time the action following to the gaze changes was pointing.
The final gaze target during the Planning stage to the peers was 43%, in the Implementation
stage only 15%, and in the Reviewing stage, it was the 71 %. In the Reviewing stage, the
followed action to the changes in the viewpoint, in 5 of the 34 times was the end of the
session, this is consistent with a last look to verify what had been done. The change of gaze
that ended in a moving action may be because of the user trying to see the workspace from
other perspectives. Curiously, Group 2 from the first trial without facilitator, used these
changes of gaze by the end of the session during the Reviewing stage, which imply head
movements on their avatars, to say yes or not to the others.
In reserve of confirming these observations with a biggest sample of data, they may
represent an adaptation of the users' nonverbal behavior facilities in a CVE, as awareness of
their interaction with others.
Regarding the facilitator, it seems that the messages were sent very frequently, see column 2
in Table 12, it might be better to spread them, especially those regarding participation rates;
also, statistics should be cleaned once a message is triggered regardless the users' answer to
avoid repetitions. This, as an attempt of improving the number of answered messages,
without forcing the participants to do so.
Other method to make the facilitator advices more acceptable could be to present them in a
more attractive way like changing the color of the letters, or maybe in an imperative form, to
give them via voice, or to give the facilitator a body.
Finally, following the logs files a kind of story can be tell about what is going on in the
environment, the next lines were composed based on them and it correspond to a SS user:
