At the moment Sun is experimenting with Project Wonderland, a virtual workspace where employees can accomplish their real work, share documents, and meet with colleagues using voice communication. Fortunately, they recognize that knowledge workers frequently collaborate over shared objects (presentations, drawings, documents). Unlike for instance the Second Life environment, Project Wonderland allows knowledge workers to share their applications, although it now only allows sharing Java and X applications.

Within Future Workspaces, a team of researchers from the Free University in Amsterdam is investigating decision making processes in virtual environments. Keep an eye on their publications!
