Abstract

In order to improve the practice of CSCW research, we need to consider
the process of system development, analyze system usage, and redesign
the improved system based on the implications from the analysis. In
working towards these goals, we have formulated an international
research group consisting of engineers and sociologists, and have
reported the initial results of our research at conferences such as
CSCW, CHI, and ECSCW. In this seminar, through an introduction of our
research in chronological order, I will discuss how engineers and
sociologist have been effectively working together within CSCW research.

Short resume

Professor Kuzuoka is from the Institute of Engineering Mechanics and
Systems, University of Tsukuba. His research interests include embodied
spaces, immersive collaborative environments and augmented reality.
