Abstract: A system (and corresponding method) is provided that enables virtual spaces to be created based upon user activity and populated with users associated with, interested in or active within the same areas as the user, thus facilitating serendipitous interactions and exchange of knowledge. The system dynamically binds user representations (e.g., avatars, links) into a virtual space that is associated with an activity or topic. Essentially, the system is capable of dynamically gathering or generating representations of users associated with a workflow or tasks within an activity, project or topic thereby enhancing collaboration between users with regard to communications as well as generation and sharing of data.

Abstract: A system (and corresponding method) that enables automatic (and/or manual) summarization of significant events that occur within a collaborative discussion is provided. The summarization promotes efficient review and asynchronous participation where a user can trigger playback of a series of events that occurred within a discussion. The system can automatically summarize ‘high points’ or significant events from within an immersive collaborative environment. ‘World-marks’ or other tags can be employed to mark, locate and/or render the summarized content.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes obtaining collaboration data from at least one data source, and mapping the collaboration data into a visual representation in a collaboration space. The visual representation is arranged to be manipulated to cause details associated with the collaboration to be displayed in the collaboration space. Finally, the method includes enabling manipulations of the visual representation.

Abstract: A system (and corresponding method) that enables establishment of a record associated with an immersive collaborative environment is provided. The record represents events and actions that occur within the virtual environment. Additionally, the system enables a user to modify the record following the initial capture. Upon modification, the record is ‘time-shifted’ such that the resultant record is a seamless chronological rendition of events and actions that occurred within the immersive collaborative environment or virtual workspace.

Abstract: A system (and corresponding method) that enables establishment of an immersive collaborative environment is provided. The immersive collaborative environment represents a context-based virtual rendering of a user environment. More particularly, the virtual rendering can be associated with project or activity specific ‘rooms’ or ‘spaces.’ Within the virtual space, a resources such as data, applications and contacts can be made dynamically available to a user based upon the user context at any given moment. For example, the rendering can be employed in a business or other activity production workflow scenario thereby enhancing efficiency and productivity.
