<p class="MsoNormal">The PhD project will focus on the various action possibilities of virtual reality regarding virtual collaboration. The consequences of digitalization are manifesting in organizations and society, including the way we perform our tasks.
The recent name change of Facebook to Metaverse is an example of the increasing importance of future virtual space for jobs and collaboration. To provide future workforce with required skills, the project will investigate how virtual teams work and collaborate
in an extended reality (XR) environment to achieve common goals. The theory of affordance is particularly useful in explaining the action possibilities of virtual technologies and explore what facilitating conditions are needed to actualize those action possibilities.<o:p></o:p></p>
