Title
A study of multimodal feedback to support collaborative manipulation tasks in virtual worlds
Abstract
In the research community, developers of Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVEs) usually refer to the terms awareness and feedback as something necessary to maintain a fluent collaboration when highly interactive tasks have to be performed. However, it is remarkable that few studies address the effect that including special kinds of feedback has on user awareness and task performance. This work follows a preliminary experiment where we already studied awareness in CVEs, evaluating the effect of visual cues in the performance of collaborative tasks and showing that users tend to make more mistakes when such feedback is not provided, that is, they are less aware. These early results were promising and encouraged us to continue investigating the benefit of improving awareness in tasks that require close collaboration between users, but this time analyzing more types of awareness and experimenting with visual, audio and vibrotactile feedback cues.
