在协作玩法中，玩家使用各种方法来了解整体游戏状态，制定策略并向其他玩家传达信息。有效地使用这些方法至关重要，特别是在第一人称射击游戏等快节奏、时间紧迫的协作游戏中。本文提出了一项观察性研究，旨在了解玩家在游戏过程中使用的沟通渠道和意识线索，以协同实现游戏目标。该研究显示，玩家在物理和虚拟环境中利用各种非常规的沟通渠道和意识线索，以弥补在游戏过程中无法使用常见的人类协作互动机制（如眼睛注视和手势）的缺陷。在现实环境中，玩家倾向于只使用来自伴侣的听觉线索，而在虚拟环境中，他们更依赖于与伴侣的互动，在游戏过程中使用各种中心和外围线索来保持意识。本文讨论了这些发现的意义，并提出了提高游戏玩法质量的建议。
During collaborative gameplay players make use of various methods to become aware of the overall game status, develop strategies, and convey information to other players. Efficient and effective use of these methods is essential, especially during fast-paced time-critical collaborative games such as first-person shooters. This paper presents an observational study aimed to understand the communication channels and awareness cues used by players during gameplay to collaboratively achieve the game objectives. The study revealed that players utilize a variety of unconventional communication channels and awareness cues in both the physical and virtual environments to compensate for the inability to use commonly available collaborative human interaction mechanisms, such as eye gaze and gesturing, during gameplay. Players tended to use only auditory cues from their partner in the physical environment, while relying heavily on interacting with their partner through the virtual environment, using a variety of central and peripheral cues to maintain awareness during gameplay. Implications of these findings are discussed and recommendations for improving the quality of gameplay are provided.
