Etude empirique de l'utilisation de la geolocalisation en collaboration mobile

摘要

This paper describes a collaborative location based application in built-in environment. This system is basically a platform that aims at exploring the impacts of positioning technologies on collaborative processes involving geographically dispersed teammates. The paper presents the platform as well as the first results of an ongoing study in which we tested two interfaces: one with a location awareness tool and another without. Results show that being given the position of the partners does not lead to better performance. Moreover, participants who were not provided with the position of others sent more messages to each other's and made more mistakes when we asked them to draw the path taken by their partners.
