Most studies of ICT introductions have their focus on one organization where the new ICT should support well-known activities in the organization. When ICTintroductions are aimed at starting, improving or changing inter-organizational collaboration the situation is different. New tasks need to be formed and organizations meet on unknown grounds, and not many studies have been done of this type of situation. Theories, that are found to be useful in situations when ICT is introduced in one organization, are not sufficient to account for all effects in an interorganizational collaboration case. This paper explores how organizational theory can contribute to better understand the introduction of Virtual Reality for interorganizational collaboration. Applying sensemaking and organizational boundaries to three studies of Architecture-Engineering-Construction projects shows benefits for identifying and analyzing upcoming difficulties in a structured way.

“…architects "have a reputation for submitting nonrealistic perspectives, omitting parts of schemes that are not fully designed and even hiding areas of schemes behind carefully placed trees and other features" (p. 8). Adopting VR can be beneficial for the architects' involvement in future projects since their proposals may be more accessible to a wider group of stakeholders [3]. 3D VR-models also have benefits in relation to 2D models, e.g.…”

Using Virtual Reality (VR) models that support planning and design has become increasingly recognized, especially for visualizing future environmental changes. When designing and communicating these changes they are sometimes simplified while at other times photorealistic representations are used. All the parties involved should trust these representations throughout the entire project. This is not the case today. Representations can be mistrusted, misleading or even misused by certain stakeholders, whilst others regard them as supportive. The overall aim of this paper is to investigate the impact of the used representations and the associated risks and benefits that influence communication. While there are several studies in this research area, there are no earlier studies that have investigated the role of representations through long-term, practical projects. Supported by examples from both practical and research studies, the results illustrate how the validity of representations depends on the major project phases. The results illustrate user demands for more supportive object representations, e.g. illustrating possible known object deviations, information on validity and reliability related to objects in context, and for additional clarifications depending on the project phase, especially regarding representations that are too photorealistic.
