Interactive Collaboration Environments Laboratory
Mission
The mission of the Interactive Collaborative Environments Laboratory is to create a venue for faculty, staff and student researchers to explore and develop advanced technology applications for real-time, interactive, n-way connections among people separated by distance. These research projects will be used for actual collaboration, dissemination, and outreach functions in order to better undertake focused research and development efforts for technology improvements and to acquire a practical based understanding of the human factors issues and the social implications of specific technology choices.
