I have been thinking recently about the research question for my work. Many different aspects of spatialised communication can be highlighted. The core concept is that people use space for living and use referential aspect of space while communicating for maximizing communication functions. No big surprise here. Non trivial aspects of this can be how a group of people reaches a shared representation of space while physically non co-present. This may mean that people can define space asynchronously or either through a virtual media. The three distinctive elements of this work may be:
1. the group cognitive processes;
2. the mental representation of space;
3. the sharing of reference and direction elements over mediated communication.
