Abstract

The importance of an awareness model for a Virtual Environment has been underwritten by many studies and very interesting research has been undertaken in this CSCW research area.In this paper, we give a new interpretation of the set of key concepts and ideas, which have been used to define conventional awareness models in CVE's, for the purpose of building a formal model of awareness for 3D Web-based Collaborative Environments.At the same time, we will point out some limitations of current awareness models and we will propose some extensions, like Visual Acuity and Internal Filters. We will also provide an interpretation for these concepts in the context of Web applications.
