未来的远程会议可能会通过在不受约束的空间内支持非语言通信来增强远程人员之间的通信，在该空间中，人们可以四处移动并共享人工制品的操纵。通过将步入式显示器与协作虚拟环境（CVE）平台联系起来，我们能够在空间组织的社交和信息环境中物理地组织一个分布式团队。我们发现，在与物体的非语言交流和互动过程中，空间和身体的使用表现出前所未有的自然性。然而，人们对这种技术如何互动，特别是在分享物体的操作时，知之甚少。我们观察到，人们在从事这样一项任务时，虽然在地理上跨越了国界。我们的分析被组织成协作场景，每个场景都需要一个独特的平衡社会人类沟通与一致的共享操纵objects.Observational结果表明，步入式显示器不遭受其他显示器的一些重要缺点。以前的试验表明，支持自然的非语言交流，沿着响应和一致的共享对象操作，是很难实现的。为了更好地理解这个问题，我们仔细研究了场景如何影响事件流量的特征。最后，我们提出了各种策略可能会减少特定情况下的一致性问题。
Future teleconferencing may enhance communication between remote people by supporting non-verbal communication within an unconstrained space where people can move around and share the manipulation of artefacts. By linking walk-in displays with a Collaborative Virtual Environment (CVE) platform we are able to physically situate a distributed team in a spatially organised social and information context. We have found this to demonstrate unprecedented naturalness in the use of space and body during non-verbal communication and interaction with objects.However, relatively little is known about how people interact through this technology, especially while sharing the manipulation of objects. We observed people engaged in such a task while geographically separated across national boundaries. Our analysis is organised into collaborative scenarios, that each requires a distinct balance of social human communication with consistent shared manipulation of objects.Observational results suggest that walk-in displays do not suffer from some of the important drawbacks of other displays. Previous trials have shown that supporting natural non-verbal communication, along with responsive and consistent shared object manipulation, is hard to achieve. To better understand this problem, we take a close look at how the scenario impacts on the characteristics of event traffic. We conclude by suggesting how various strategies might reduce the consistency problem for particular scenarios.
