Knowledge is commonly socially constructed, through collaborative efforts towards shared objectives or by dialogues and challenges brought about by different persons' perspectives.

Takac, Boris, Chellali, Amine, Dumas, Cedric, Milleville, Isabelle, Grosdemouge, Cristol and Cao, Caroline G. L. (2011): Haptic Communication for a 2D Pointing Task in a Virtual Environment. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 55th Annual Meeting 2011. pp. 2168-2172.

This paper examines the properties of haptic communication between two human operators using kinesthetic haptic devices in a collaborative task in a virtual environment. Twenty subjects, divided into 10 dyads, participated in a 2D pointing task. Each dyad consisted of a supervisor and an acting agent. The supervisor's role was to guide the acting agent towards a target in the virtual environment through either verbal or haptic communication only. Verbal communication was found to be the most efficient means of communication, but collaboration was also effective using haptic communication. Several different haptic communication strategies were observed, all with equal effectiveness as measured by task completion time. These strategies followed the same pattern as the verbal strategies. These results suggest that haptic communication in a virtual environment is possible, allowing for future designs of haptically enhanced collaborative work in virtual environments.

Motivation -- To study haptic communication in collaborative virtual environments. Research approach -- An experimental study was conducted, in which 60 students were asked to perform in dyads a shared manual task after a training period. Findings/Design -- The results show that haptic communication can influence the common frame of reference development in a shared manual task. Research limitations/Implications -- Deeper verbalization analyses are needed to evaluate the common frame of reference development. Originality/Value -- This study highlights haptic interactions importance when designing virtual environment that support shared manual tasks. Take away message -- Haptic communication, combined with visual and verbal communication, enriches interactions in collaborative virtual environments.
