This project focuses on the application of collaborative virtual environments (CVEs) used to support virtual work. A metric of the quality of a CVE is the degree to which it creates a sense of virtual presence (a sense of "being there") by the user. Designers of VEs consider presence to be a desirable attribute and goal, coupled with a longstanding belief that it is related to performance. However, there is limited empirical evidence to support these views, particularly in relation to collaborative decision processes. The link between presence and performance in a CVE is particularly relevant in a corporate context because many enterprises have yet to determine if there is sufficient return on the financial and human resource investments required to develop or license CVEs. This project first seeks to theoretically define the foundational construct of collaborative virtual presence (CVP). Then, via a series of team-based experiments involving two CVEs, the project aims to develop and validate a scale to perceptually measure CVP and correlate it to physiological data. Finally, the project aims to assess the relationship between CVP and performance. Understanding the role of presence in collaborative processes in CVEs is an important foundational step toward the development of revolutionary technologies for enabling effective team interactions that are fundamental to innovation and education.

该项目侧重于用于支持虚拟工作的协作虚拟环境（cve）的应用。衡量CVE质量的标准是它为用户创造虚拟存在感（即“在那里”的感觉）的程度。ve的设计者认为存在感是一个理想的属性和目标，并且长期认为存在感与性能有关。然而，支持这些观点的经验证据有限，特别是在协作决策过程方面。CVE的存在和性能之间的联系在企业环境中尤为重要，因为许多企业尚未确定开发或许可CVE所需的财务和人力资源投资是否有足够的回报。本项目首先试图从理论上定义协作虚拟存在（CVP）的基本结构。然后，通过一系列涉及两个cve的团队实验，该项目旨在开发和验证一个感知测量CVP的量表，并将其与生理数据相关联。最后，该项目旨在评估CVP与绩效之间的关系。理解存在在cve协作过程中的作用，是开发革命性技术的重要基础一步，这些技术可以实现有效的团队互动，而这是创新和教育的基础。
