Real-Time Feedback for Enhancing Team Collaboration: A Comparative Analysis of Collaboration Metrics with a Production Line Scenario using Virtual Reality

Effective collaboration is essential in high-stakes environments where poor teamwork can lead to critical errors and adverse outcomes. This Work in Progress aims to contribute to research by providing real-time feedback to prevent critical situations arising from inadequate collaboration. We are developing an experiment to compare seven indicators of collaboration for their effectiveness in real-time context. Using a collaborative virtual environment, we can control the situation and environmental effects, allowing for precise and reliable assessment of each indicator. The goal is to identify the most efficient indicators for real-time assessment of collaboration, thereby enhancing team performance and preventing critical failures. This research will contribute to optimizing teamwork and operational success in critical fields, such as industrial applications, where collaboration is crucial.
