Mutual Human Actuation
summary
Mutual human actuation claims everyone can both feel and provide forces by pairing users so they actuate each other rather than relying on dedicated operators; the team builds Mutual Turk in Unity with wireless networking, uses five prop types (fishing rod, cart, tank, styrofoam board, chair) and a concurrent state‑machine/Petri net that relies on rigid‑body sensing to detect pickups, achieving two‑user sessions with about 10 chained interactions and a 20‑minute demo that works but inherits human limits (slowness, inaccuracy) and needs explicit exception handling. shared props
