SLMeeting: supporting collaborative work in Second Life

Published: 28 May 2008 Publication History

Abstract

Second Life is a virtual world which is often used for the synchronous meeting of teams. However, supporting distributed meeting goes beyond supporting user activities during the meeting itself, because it is also necessary to facilitate their coordination, arrangement and set up.
In this paper we investigate how teams can work together more effectively in Second Life. We also propose a system, named SLMeeting, which enhances the communication facilities of Second Life to support the management of collaborative activities, organized as conferences or Job meetings and later replayed, queried, analyzed and visualized. The meeting organization and management functionalities are performed by ad-hoc developed Second Life objects and by the communication between these objects and a supporting web site. As a result, the functionalities offered by Second Life are enriched with the capabilities of organizing meetings and recoding all the information concerning the event.
