Abstract
In this paper, we handle collaborative work in which two users move an object together to eliminate a target in a 3-D virtual space. In the work, the users transmit their wills about movement direction of the object to each other by only haptics and by haptics and vision (including with/ without drawing an arrow to indicate the direction of force applied to the object by the other user). We carry out QoE (Quality of Experience) assessment subjectively and objectively to investigate the influence of network delay on will transmission. As a result, we clarify the effects of vision on the transmissibility of haptic will transmission.
