The HxI Initiative is a research collaboration between Australia’s leading publicly funded research organisations – CSIRO, DSTO and NICTA. With many organisations looking to improve the way employees collaborate and share knowledge, even across large distances, the HxI Initiative is aimed at developing technologies that support humans in their interactions with each other, their environments and information.
The Initiative was formed in 2006. Click here for a more detailed overview of HxI Initiative |

The key project being undertaken within the HxI Initiative is the [braccetto] project .jpg "Image")
The [braccetto] project is the first project of the HxI Initiative and forms the foundation of future research efforts. Braccetto is Italian for ‘arm in arm’, which reflects the close working relationship between the research partners and the project’s focus on intense collaboration. The [braccetto] project investigates how the effective application of ICT in mixed presence groupware – software that connects local and remote participants in a shared visual workspace – can help geographically distributed teams collaborate more effectively. HxI [braccetto] is researching the principles underlying effective, intense remote collaboration. The results of this investigation may provide new ways of supporting distributed teams involved in creative activities such as collaborative design, planning, analysis and decision making. Groups that regularly engage in intense collaborative and creative activities include military planning, scientific research and emergency service response teams. More Information |
