Abstract

In many situations users can benefit from group awareness--information about remote users' presence, availability, activities and other information about the remote environment. In this paper we present the Theatre of Work Enabling Relationships (TOWER) awareness environment. We particularly focus on the presentation of the awareness information in a 3D world and on mobile devices. Furthermore, we introduce awareness contexts for structuring awareness information and exemplify their use in a WWW context.
