Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We propose a synchronous and symmetrical remote assembling collaboration system using Shared Blocks. Shared Block is a LEGO(R); like shape consisting of intelligent blocks containing a microcontroller, a ZigBee module, LEDs, and batteries in each block. It has following three functions. (1) Auto modeling function recognizes user’s building procedures by itself. (2) Communication function exchanges building procedures with remote user’s blocks. (3) Building procedures representation UI function informs a user to build the same structure as the remote user's one by switching on LEDs of blocks. By these functions, Shared Block solves the problem of sharing real objects and its real manipulation for remote collaboration. In this paper, we describe an implementation of a prototype system and its evaluation.
