  2. 1. Shared Virtual Environments : Technology, Social Interaction, and Adaptation over Time

    Author : Maria Spante; Erik Stolterman; Institutionen för teknik och samhälle Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Shared virtual environments; virtual reality technology; social interaction; adaptation; collaboration; time; Informatik; Informatics;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates social interaction and adaptation over time in shared virtual environments. Shared virtual environments (SVEs) are computer generated 3D graphical spaces where geographically distributed people can meet and interact with each other in a graphical space. READ MORE

  4. 2. A Seeing Place – Connecting Physical and Virtual Spaces

    Author : Josef Wideström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; stage; VR; theatre; Virtual Space; virtual reality; place; physical space;

    Abstract : In the experience and design of spaces today, we meet both reality and virtuality. But how is the relation between real and virtual construed? How can we as researchers and designers contribute to resolving the physical-virtual divide regarding spaces? This thesis explores the relations between the physical and the virtual and investigates ways of connecting physical and virtual space, both in theory and practice. READ MORE

  6. 4. Languaging in virtual learning sites : studies of online encounters in the language-focused classroom

    Author : Giulia Messina Dahlberg; Sangeeta Bagga-Gupta; Mats Tegmark; Sylvi Vigmo; David Malinowski; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; virtual learning sites; synchronous computer mediated communication; Pedagogik; Education; Utbildning och lärande;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses upon a series of empirical studies which examine communication and learning in online glocal communities within higher education in Sweden. A recurring theme in the theoretical framework deals with issues of languaging in virtual multimodal environments as well as the making of identity and negotiation of meaning in these settings; analyzing the activity, what people do, in contraposition to the study of how people talk about their activity.

  7. 5. Connected Practice: The Dynamics of Social Interaction in Shared Virtual Environment

    Author : Maria Spante; Ralph Schroeder; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the phenomenon of social interaction in shared virtual environments (SVEs), supported by virtual reality (VR) systems over time. SVEs are computer generated 3D graphical spaces where geographically distributed people can meet and interact with each other in a graphical space. READ MORE
