Collaboration and skill transmission by first-person perspective view sharing system

When two distant persons establish cooperative interaction, how to share their motions and sensations and how to adjust or revise their motions are important for cooperation. In this paper, we propose an approach for sharing first-person perspectives to establish collaboration and to transmit a skill from one to another. We developed a view-sharing system to realize such interaction. To investigate the fundamental behavioral property of humans with our system, we examined a simple collaborated behavior and found that a situation where subjects only see their partner´s view improves velocity following. By exploiting this property, we transmitted the basic skill required for the Diabolo trick to non-skilled persons. Through our system, the performances of non-skilled persons with the assistance of a skilled person surpassed individual performances.
