When a virtual avatar is controlled simultaneously by two individuals (i.e., the movement of the avatar reflects the averaged movement of them: virtual co-embodiment), the movement performance of individuals can improve compared to when they manipulate an avatar by themselves. In this presentation, we will report factors that improved an individual’s performance under virtual co-embodiment, focusing on the effect of real-time interaction and movement-sharing. Results of our studies suggest that individuals modulate their movement based on that of others reflected on the avatar, thereby resulting in better performances on body control.
