Collaboration in parallel worlds

Published: 13 October 2004 Publication History

Abstract

We present a novel paradigm for human to human asymmetric collaboration. There is a need for people at geographically separate locations to seamlessly collaborate in real time as if they are physically co-located. In our system one user (novice) works in the real world and the other user (expert) works in a parallel virtual world. They are assisted in this task by an Intelligent Agent (IA) with considerable knowledge about the environment. Current tele-collaboration systems deal primarily with collaboration purely in the real or virtual worlds. The use of a combination of virtual and real worlds allows us to leverage the advantages from both the worlds.
