3 driving scenarios have been designed which address the specific characteristics of manual operations:

P2O: The Person-to-Object Interaction is concerned with the most basic form of interaction, the handling of an object by a human. It relies on the passivity of the “interaction partner” (object), which only reacts in a physically predictable manner to the actions of the user.

P2P: In the Person-to-Person scenario this constraint will be relaxed. It engages two people in multimodal interaction involving physical contacts, like handshaking or social dancing.
POP: Person-Object-Person scenario investigates collaborative, multimodal interaction between two persons mediated by an object, for example jointly inserting a heavy component during an assembly process.
