“…With the development of display technology and the spread of virtual reality technology, interaction in digital space, where the scale can be freely changed, has been proposed instead of limited physical space 1,2 . However, to interact in digital space, users must operate a cursor or virtual hand using a mouse or controller in physical space.…”

“…Using virtual reality and robotics technologies, interactions involving the manipulation of multiple virtual bodies and robotic avatars have been developed [1][2][3][4] . Interfaces with multiple cursors that reflect the user's mouse operations have also been proposed to facilitate pointing at targets on a large screen 5 and preventing shoulder hacking 6,7 .…”

Virtual reality and robotics technologies have developed interactions with augmented and replicated bodies in digital space. By simultaneously moving multiple bodies in various locations in ample space, users can reach distant objects and interact with them by switching the bodies without having to make significant movements themselves. Previous researches has investigated the design interfaces for manipulation and switching in such interactions using multiple bodies based upon the user's perception of the objects. However, the mechanism by which a self-attribution arises from multiple objects reflecting self-motion is still unclear. To investigate this mechanism, we developed a dummy cursor experiment in which participants were presented with multiple independently moving dummy cursors in addition to the cursors they moved on the screen. The presented dummy cursors moved in different directions and were temporally synchronized with the participants' movements. Participants identified the cursor whose movement exactly matched the mouse they were manipulating from among the multiple dummy cursors displayed on the screen. To investigate under what conditions participants could identify the cursor they were operating, we compared the identification rates by varying the number of dummy cursors presented and how they were moved. As a result, participants could identify the cursor they were operating with a very high probability, even when there were many dummy cursors. Through these results, we discuss the occurrence of a self-attribution among multiple objects related to self-motion and the possibility of parameters contributing to self-attribution.

“…When multiple avatar bodies are used to perform the same action, the diculties involved with parallel control are signicantly reduced [51]. If parallel embodiment is used to perform dierent actions using multiple avatar bodies, mechanisms for reducing users' cognitive burden are usually introduced in the form of automatic movement assistance [83], supported integration of multiple control paradigms [53], or simplied control options that trigger pre-determined commands [27].…”

Novel technological systems enabling people to control multiple robotic avatars simultaneously could support more accessible ways to multitask. An implementation of a parallel avatar system in a cafe shows that, leveraging their existing skills, remote workers with disabilities were able to utilize the system to control up to four robots, each with a different function, to assist customers in a cafe. The parallel avatar systems expand the agency and the capabilities of disabled workers, while also delivering better experiences to customers.
