Braccetto Project

Braccetto, meaning ‘arm in arm’ in Italian,is researching the principles underlying effective remote collaboration. The results of this investigation may provide new ways of supporting geographically dispersed teams involved in creative activities such as collaborative design, planning, analysis and decision making.

The project is developing new methods for supporting simultaneous work on software applications between sites in conjunction with tightly linked, high-quality, multi-party telepresence technology. The project will evaluate how these methods improve the productivity of teams and team members’ awareness of co-workers.

Braccetto is a project within the HxI Initiative, a research collaboration between Australia’s leading publicly funded research organisations – CSIRO, DSTO and NICTA.
