Informal workplace communication

408 Citations1994Steve Whittaker, Dávid Fröhlich +1 more

New findings about the nature of informat communications are presented, derived from a naturalistic study of people’s everyday working activities, that address weaknesses in current systems that support such interactions remotely and identify further requirements for better support.

Realizing a video environment

280 Citations1992William Gaver, Thomas Moran +5 more

Several examples of work to allow physically separated colleagues to work together effectively and naturally are discussed in the context of three themes that have emerged: the need to support the full range of shared work; the desire to ensure privacy without giving up unobtrusive awareness; and the possibility of creating systems which blur the boundaries between people, technologies and the everyday world.

Design of a multi-media vehicle for social browsing

272 Citations1988Robert W. Root

A “social interface” is described which provides direct, low-cost access to other people through the use of multi-media communications channels, and the implications for CSCW of having automated social interaction available through the desktop workstation are examined.

Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW)Why do users like video?

233 Citations1992John Tang, Ellen Isaacs

Three studies of collaborative activity were conducted as part of research in developing multimedia technology to support collaboration, and desktop conferencing apparently reduced e-mail usage and was perceived to reduce the number of shorter, two- person, face-to-face meetings.

Multimedia SystemsWhat video can and cannot do for collaboration: A case study

205 Citations1994Ellen Isaacs, John Tang

It is suggested that video may be better than the phone for handling conflict and other interaction-intense activities, however, the advantages of video depend critically on the nearly-instantaneous transmission of audio, even if it means getting out of sync with the video image.
