This project investigates gestural communication in collaborative physical tasks, tasks in which two or more individuals work together to perform actions on concrete objects in the three-dimensional world. For example, an expert might guide a worker's performance of emergency repairs to an aircraft, students might collaborate to build a science project, or a medical team might work together to save a patient's life. Observations of physical collaborations in face-to-face settings have suggested that gesture plays an important role in communication and task performance. To date, however, video systems for remote collaboration on physical tasks have rarely incorporated technologies to support gesture. The project has three aims: (a) to increase our understanding of the types and functions of gestures in collaborative physical tasks in face-to-face settings; (b) to systematically evaluate the impact of alternative methods for implementing gesture in systems for remote collaboration on physical tasks; and (c) to develop and test prototype gesture systems. A closely inter-related series of laboratory experiments, field studies, and technology development efforts will be used to meet these aims. Taken together, these research activities will improve the design of systems for remote collaboration in medical, educational, vehicular repair, and other physical domains.

该项目研究协作物理任务中的手势交流，在这些任务中，两个或多个人一起工作，对三维世界中的具体物体执行动作。例如，专家可以指导工人对飞机进行紧急修理，学生可以合作建立科学项目，或者医疗团队可以共同努力挽救病人的生命。 对面对面环境中的身体协作的观察表明，手势在沟通和任务执行中起着重要作用。 然而，迄今为止，用于物理任务的远程协作的视频系统很少结合支持手势的技术。该项目有三个目标：（a）增加我们对在面对面环境中协作物理任务中手势的类型和功能的理解;（B）系统地评估用于在物理任务的远程协作系统中实现手势的替代方法的影响;以及（c）开发和测试原型手势系统。 一系列密切相关的实验室实验、实地研究和技术开发工作将用于实现这些目标。 总之，这些研究活动将改善医疗，教育，车辆维修和其他物理领域的远程协作系统的设计。
