“…In a complex MDE environment, where the virtual workspace can be large (e.g., a map), it can be difficult to keep track of each other's activities, even in a synchronous system. One approach is to use a timeline that summarizes activities, a solution adopted for a complex collaborative game on a tabletop [13], and for scientific exploration of data on a shared display [37]. Another, is Mnemonic Rendering [5], that stores changes and plays them back on demand, or summarizes and superimposes them on the interface in a semi-transparent layer.…”
