Abstract
In a networked collaborative virtual environment (NCVE), people work together as a group and share the similar user interface (UI) design. Therefore, it is crucial to have a good UI so that activities can be performed quickly and effectively. The human computer interaction (HCI) discipline and principles can be a solution to poorly designed human-machine interfaces. Nowadays, studies of human and machine interaction is an attempt to allow task to be performed easily, friendly and fast since many activities are running concomitantly in collaborative environment. Thus, this paper presents an exploratory study of featuring collaborative system design. We highlight various collaborative features that follow the common HCI rules. The study serves as an effort towards developing a new HCI model that can be applied to any collaborative applications.
