Item Gesture Coordination in Collaborative Tasks through Augmented Feedthrough(The Eurographics Association, 2010) Simard, Jean; Ammi, Mehdi; Torsten Kuhlen and Sabine Coquillart and Victoria InterranteThis article explores the use of haptic feedback for interpersonal communication in Collaborative Virtual Environments. The investigated approach enables the improvement of communication and coordination during closely coupled collaboration presenting several communication constraints (e.g., large and complex environments, distant collaboration, etc.). After the presentation of involved communication mechanisms, we propose the investigation of a low level communication approach through a haptic feedthrough mechanism. This channel is used to communicate kinematic information about a partner's gestures during closely coupled collaboration. Several communication metaphors, with complementary behaviors, were investigated to improve the coordination between two partners during an assembly task. The results clearly show the role of the proposed strategies for the improvement of gesture coordination and highlight the correlation between applied force and the level of coordinationItem Short Paper: Study of Synchronous and Colocated Collaboration for Search Tasks(The Eurographics Association, 2010) Simard, Jean; Ammi, Mehdi; Auvray, Malika; Torsten Kuhlen and Sabine Coquillart and Victoria InterranteNowadays, Collaborative Virtual Environments offer new working methods allowing for the association of several experts in the same problem-solving process. These new platforms have the potential to improve the processing of complex environments with large dataflow and requiring different skills. This article proposes the investigation of a synchronous and colocated approach for a molecular design task. The aim of this research is to highlight the role and the contribution of Collaborative Virtual Environments for the improvement of complex tasks fulfillment.
