About
HYCOS is a research project investigating our virtual as well as physical surroundings when we collaborate with others in hybrid settings (i.e., some are remote, some are at the same location but we all work together as a team).
Remote and hybrid forms of collaboration have become widespread at the latest since the onset of the COVID-19 crisis. Even before the pandemic, such work settings were becoming increasingly important …
Aims
1) Establish a Definition of Hybrid Collaboration Spaces
2) Elicit Requirements
3) Develop Modular Prototypes
4) Systematically Evaluate
5) Derive Design & Implementation Guidelines
