Information Systems ManagementEYE-BASED COORDINATION IN VIRTUAL TEAMS
The importance of virtual team work increased rapidly during the last years. Without face-to-face interactions, coordinating on joint activities can be more difficult because the non-verbal cues are missing. Visual cues, such as mutual gaze or joint attention might play a critical role in coordination. Eye-tracking technology allows to share gaze information in real-time and might help to overcome coordination failures and establish efficient outcomes. This PhD project will investigate eye-based coordination in virtual teams using state-of-the art eye-tracking technology. The project will be interdisciplinary and combine insights from economics, management, information systems, and human computer interaction.
