Research on Attention Management in Multi-presence

- Verification of performance improvement effect by residual attention to extended body groups group according to subjective and bird's-eye view -

Abstract

In recent years, research on augmented bodies that extend the capabilities of the human body has attracted much attention. Multi-presence, the topic of this paper, is one of the extended body studies, and is a system in which multiple extended bodies are operated by a single person. Until now, the role of presence in the parallel and multiple manipulation of extended bodies has not been clarified. From the validation test, subjective images with a high sense of presence were more likely to sustain residual attention associated with attention switching than overhead images with a low sense of presence, and task performance was improved. Thus, the results suggest the usefulness of increasing the sense of presence for each task when designing multi-presence.
