Collaborative Virtual Environment, nonverbal communication, collaborative interactionResumen
Current virtual environments are predominantly visual-spatial, which allows their ‘inhabitants’ the display, either in a conscious or unconscious way, of nonverbal cues during interaction, such as gaze direction, deictic gestures or location. This interchange of nonverbal messages enriches interaction while supports mutual comprehension, fundamental for collaborative work and therefore particularly important in a multiuser virtual environment, that is, a Collaborative Virtual Environment. Different techniques, the media involvement, and automatic detection related collaborative nonverbal interaction are here discussed.Resumen: Los actuales entornos virtuales son predominantemente visual-espaciales, lo que permite a sus ‘habitantes’ el despliegue, ya sea de manera consciente o inconsciente, de señales no verbales durante la interacción, como son la dirección de la mirada, la gesticulación deíctica o la localización. Este intercambio de mensajes no verbales enriquece la interacción mientras ayuda a una comprensión mutua, fundamental para el trabajo colaborativo y por lo tanto particularmente importante en un entorno virtual multiusuario, esto es, un Entorno Virtual Colaborativo. Diferentes técnicas, la participación de los medio de comunicación, y la detección automática relacionada con la interacción colaborativa no verbal son aquí comentados.Palabras clave: Entornos Virtuales Colaborativos, comunicación no verbal, interacción colaborativa.Citas
