Abstract
This chapter reviews contemporary research on virtual collaboration. In particular, we focus on synchronous communication and collaboration processes in virtual conferencing environments. In a virtual conference, interactants are geographically distant but their avatars (virtual representations) appear in the same virtual conference room. Two types of virtual collaboration are examined. First, we review new findings on research in immersive virtual conferencing. Next, we review recent findings on social interaction in non-immersive virtual conferencing. Specifically, we examine the impact of social interaction on these communication technologies. Finally, we conclude with speculation about the future trends in virtual collaboration.

Collaborative Virtual Environments
An extension of a networked virtual environment which aims at a collaborative task. CVEs aim to provide an integrated, explicit and persistent context for cooperation that combines both the participants and their information into a common display space. These objectives create the potential to support a broad range of cooperative applications such as training.
