This research goal is to facilitate real-time serial cooperative work. In real-time serial cooperative work, the order of subtasks is important because a failure of the order leads to a failure of the whole task. So, coordinating the order of workers’ subtasks is necessary to smoothly accomplish the tasks. In this paper, we propose a method that uses vibration to present the action order and coordinate the orders. We conducted a user study to verify the effectiveness of the method in theatrical performance practice, which was an example of real-time serial cooperative work. As a result, order coordination reduced mistakes in the order of speech and action and in the contents of lines and action. This result suggests that order coordination can improve real-time serial cooperative work.
