One of these problems is the definition of a unified spatial reference system for the shared workspace in combination with an immersive representation of the collaborator. To mitigate this problem we propose a technique we call spatial mirroring. It is based on a virtual collaboration environment using two curved displays and aims to eliminate possible communication errors due to left/right misunderstandings. We explain the working principle and ideas behind spatial mirroring, and present two consecutive user studies in which we were able to verify its benefits. %G English %Z TC 13 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01504916/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01504916/file/978-3-642-40477-1_41_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01504916 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01504916 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-AICT %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-TC13 %~ IFIP-INTERACT %~ IFIP-LNCS-8119
