System and method providing a computer user interface enabling access to distributed workgroup members
TL;DR: In this paper, a system and method provides each networked computer user with a user interface displaying visual representations of selected other computer users, generally of those workers in the user's workgroup, and further provides communication mechanisms for efficiently and easily contacting any of the displayed workers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Findings from observational studies of collaborative work
TL;DR: Specific features of collaborative work activity that raise design implications for collaborative technology are identified: collaborators use hand gestures to uniquely communicate significant information; the process of creating and using drawings conveys much information not contained in the resulting drawings.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

System and method enabling awareness of others working on similar tasks in a computer work environment
TL;DR: In this article, a computer system and method provide networked computer users with information about which other users are task proximate to the user, thereby facilitating spontaneous communications regarding taskrelated, or other, issues.
