Abstract

Our research focuses on the sensory characteristics of interacting with a novel box-shaped interface device for facilitating transfer of a digital object to another person. Such findings are important for constructing an ultra-realistic communication system with shared reality. This paper presents two kinds of pilot studies: (I) graspability of a box-shaped interface device through controlling feedback timing from the device, and (II) the sense of possessing a modality in information transfer between two devices. Both psychological and behavioral evaluation results suggest that graspability increases more from feedback of the device just after grasping it than from that just before grasping it. Furthermore, psychological evaluation results suggest that a touch-and-move method, i.e., the receiver of feedback changes precisely from one user to the other after touching the two devices, increases the sense of possessing a modality more than does a touch-and-copy method, i.e., both users simultaneously receive feedback after touching.
