My network configuration

Not only widgets that provide the sense of presence and workspace awareness by a modified visualization of the shared workspace. They present a view, a virtual magnifying glass that increases the size of all objects placed on a chosen point. The two-level view, also presented by my network configuration, allows the user to see an overview of the workspace, with the details view of the magnifying class, allowing the user to see the details of objects. This visualization combines two layers of information in the same window.

The information about the sense of presence and workspace awareness is not provided only by visual awareness widgets. Somebody proposed the use of different audio cues to represent the actions and types of activities done by the users in the objects of the shared workspace. Another example of audio used to provide awareness is found on the project in which activity sounds were used to indicate the distance and location of user’s actions by changing volume and direction.
