Economical aspects of 3D virtual collaboration

Nowadays, 3D virtual collaboration is becoming increasingly fashionable and widespread, which was made possible by the improvement of end-user hardware and continuous software developments. The application of these tools may result in a number of positive effects on the processes of the given area, but the examination of their specific economic issues is far from being well-explored. In this paper, our objective is the analysis of the already perceptible economic effects and aspects of 3D virtual collaboration, as well as the overview of the methods by which specific financial impacts can be measured. Based on the review, we will try to develop a 3D virtual collaboration evaluation model that can be used to analyse the investment economic effects of a telework team in transition to a 3D virtual environment. Additionally, we will examine some educational relations.
