Abstract

In a set of local terminals (2-5) communicating via a network (6) to constitute a collaborative system (1), each terminal (2) receives data via the network and processes the data to present information via a user interface (9). A network performance monitor (11) determines a network performance parameter representative of performance status of the network in facilitating collaborative communication between the terminals. The network performance monitor outputs the network performance parameter to an output modifier (12) which controls the output generated by a user interface output generator 10 such that the information presented by the user interface to the user is varied according to the value of the network performance parameter for facilitating user perception of the performance status of the network. Where a scene is presented to the viewer, a perceptual metaphor may thereby be conveyed such as to associate fine sunny weather conditions with a good state of well-being of the network and to associate rainy or wintery conditions with a deteriorating state of well-being of the network. The process has application to virtual reality environments allowing interaction between virtual characters controlled by participants each provided with a respected one of the terminals at remote locations served by the network, as in the case of internet based games.
