Abstract
Collaboration consists mainly of two tasks; one is each partner's task which is done by the individual, the other is communication with each other. Both of them are very important for the smooth collaboration. From the viewpoint, the collaboration support system should be a coalition between the operation support and the communication support. We have developed the 3D shape evaluation support system in virtual space and the embodied virtual communication system for the analysis by synthesis. This paper describes the concept of collaboration support system for 3D shape evaluation in virtual space. Some significant results using these systems are also resumed and the factors that the collaboration system should have are denoted. Finally, the prototype of collaboration support system for 3D shape evaluation is demonstrated.
