“…In a series of prior studies (Fussell et al, 2000;Fussell, Setlock, & Kraut, 2003;Kraut et al, 2003;Kraut, Gergle, & Fussell, 2002;Kraut, Miller, & Siegel, 1996; see also Bolt, 1980;Emmorey & Casey, 2001), we have found that conversational grounding during collaborative physical tasks tends to follow a predictable pattern: First, collaborators come to mutual agreement upon or "ground" the objects to be manipulated using one or more referential expressions. Next, they provide instructions for procedures to be performed on those objects.…”

“…Our research suggests that grounding sequences are more efficient when people are co-located as opposed to when they are linked by audio or video technologies, even when those video technologies provide views of the workspace (Fussell et al, 2000;Fussell, Setlock & Kraut, 2003;Kraut et al, 1996;Kraut, et al, 2003). We hypothesized that, in part, this greater efficiency of co-located partners stems from their ability to make full use of both pointing and representational gestures to ground their conversations.…”

This article considers tools to support remote gesture in video systems being used to complete collaborative physical tasks-tasks in which two or more individuals work together manipulating three-dimensional objects in the real world. We first discuss the process of conversational grounding during collaborative physical tasks, particularly the role of two types of gestures in the grounding process: pointing gestures, which are used to refer to task objects and locations, and rep- HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERACTION, 2004, Volume 19, pp. 273-309 Copyright © 2004 resentational gestures, which are used to represent the form of task objects and the nature of actions to be used with those objects. We then consider ways in which both pointing and representational gestures can be instantiated in systems for remote collaboration on physical tasks. We present the results of two studies that use a "surrogate" approach to remote gesture, in which images are intended to express the meaning of gestures through visible embodiments, rather than direct views of the hands. In Study 1, we compare performance with a cursor-based 274 FUSSELL ET AL.

We are investigating how people move from individual to group work through the use of both personal digital assistants (PDAs) and a shared public display. Our scenario of this work covers the following activities. First, mobile individuals can create "personal" notes on their PDAs. Second, when individuals meet in real time, they can selectively "publicise" notes by moving them to a shared public display. Third, the group can manipulate personal and public items in real time through both PDAs and the shared public display, where the notes contained on both PDAs and public display are automatically synchronised. Finally, people leave a meeting with a common record of their activity. We describe our SharedNotes system that illustrates how people move through this scenario. We also highlight a variety of problematic design issues that result from having different devices and from having the system enforce a rigid distinction between personal and public information.

Abstract. The paper focuses on Augmented Reality systems in which interaction with the real world is augmented by the computer, the task being performed in the real world. We first define what mobile AR systems, collaborative AR systems and finally mobile and collaborative AR systems are. We then present the augmented stroll and its software design as one example of a mobile and collaborative AR system. The augmented stroll is applied to Archaeology in the MAGIC (Mobile Augmented Group Interaction in Context) project.
