Abstract
The extent that haptic force feedback affects people’s ability to collaborate in a mediated way has not been investigated much. In this paper an experiment is presented where collaboration in a distributed desktop virtual environment with haptic force feedback was studied. A video analysis of the frequency of failures to lift cubes collaboratively in a haptic condition compared to a condition with no haptic force feedback was conducted. The frequency of failures to lift cubes collaboratively is a measure of precision in task performance. The statistical analysis of the data shows that it is significantly more difficult to lift objects collaboratively in a three-dimensional desktop virtual environment without haptic force feedback.KeywordsVirtual EnvironmentVirtual ObjectHaptic FeedbackHaptic DeviceSocial PresenceThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
