%X This paper presents a feasibility study on the application of cooperative game theory tools such as the Shapley
value to measure quantitatively non-verbal interaction inside a group of people. More precisely, a method is tested to evaluate individual contributions in the estimate of the position of a mobile point of interest. Various social aspects are evaluated, like synchronization between people and group's topology, together with computational aspects for the evaluation of the Shapley value, like efficiency and accuracy. The results show that among the main factors that influence the contribution of each individual on the team's utility there are the displacement of the players and the type of movement performed by the point of interest. Possible applications in a musical context are also described.
