Overview

We introduce 'virtual co-embodiment,' in which a user shares a single avatar with another entity—another person, a robot, or an autonomous agent. In a proof-of-concept where two users control a shared avatar at complementary levels (total, partial, or none), we evaluate how the degree of shared control affects the sense of agency.
