Abstract

Twenty members of the general public worked remotely from one another in pairs. One member of the pair carried out some simple manipulative tasks as instructed by the other, after which they discussed the merit of the object assembled. Sometimes there was a view of the face and sometimes a view of the room. The work was always visible. Contrary to suggestions in the literature that a view of the face has only marginal benefits, subjective ratings and direct measures of gaze behaviour both demonstrate that the view of the manipulators face was of value in this situation.
