Abstract
This thesis explores how virtual avatars support remote collaboration in Virtual Reality (VR) environments. It investigates the impact of avatar features such as expression, position, and appearance on collaboration outcomes, including task performance, communication effectiveness, system usability, and user experience. Through pilot and full user studies, the research found that expressive avatars are preferred by users, avatar placement influences collaboration, and avatar appearance has mixed effects. The findings provide insights into optimizing avatar design and VR technology to enhance remote teamwork and user experience.
