Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Very little is known about the effects of network lag and jitter on human task performance in collaborative virtual environments. The research aims through systematic experiments, to establish how much latency can be introduced before performance degrades. It will conduct experiments to ex the effects of latency for a range on interacton styles, including the extreme case where users concurrently manipulate the same objects. It will als explore and quantify any improvements resulting from the introduction of haptic, as well as visual, feedback. A system will be developed which hid disguises, network latency, for a range of tasks including shared haptic manipulation. The goal is to demonstrate an operational system that enabl effective collaboration in the face of latencies typically found in real networks, and to verify this with quantifiable results.
