Technical Report: Exploring Human Surrogate Characteristics

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Virtual Realities

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 8844))

Abstract

This report highlights some of the historical evolution of our research involving the characteristics that are essential for effective human-surrogate interactions. In this report, a consolidated glossary of terms related to human-surrogate interaction is described, following which an attempt at defining a consolidated space of surrogate characteristics is made. The rationale behind the space definition is to provide an easy way to categorize existing and future systems, and help identify areas in which the research community might focus its efforts.
