AwarenessMaps: visualizing awareness in shared workspaces

Published:05 April 2003Publication History

ABSTRACT

In cooperative activity users require information about their cooperative environment. AwarenessMaps provide the members of shared workspaces with an overview of users and shared documents: the PeopleMap shows an array of pictures of active users fading out over time; and the DocumentMap provides a schematic overview of the structure of a shared workspace and indicates recent changes.
