Our purpose is to design and develop an interface which supports co-creation of "Ba" in face-to-face communication. Then we have directed our attention to the act of drawing in squiggle method of psychotherapy and developed the system to draw on the air as the canvas, that is called Virtual Aero Canvas, which consists of the optical see-through display with stereo CCD camera and finger light unit. We can see the finger trajectory on the physical environment through the see-through display as a wire frame created by Image processing of the finger light. In this paper we tried a few experiments about collaborative drawing using this system. The results of the experiments suggest that this system becomes a useful method to study the role of the bodily action in face-to-face communication.
