چکیده
Virtual Reality (VR) appears a natural medium for computer supported collaborative work (CSCW). However immersive Virtual Reality separates the user from the real world and their traditional tools. An alternative approach is through Mixed Reality (MR), the overlaying of virtual objects on the real world. This allows users to see each other and the real world at the same time as the virtual images, facilitating a high bandwidth of communication between users and intuitive manipulation of the virtual information. We review MR techniques for developing CSCW interfaces and describe lessons learned from developing a variety of collaborative Mixed Reality interfaces. Our recent work involves the use of computer vision techniques for accurate MR registration. We describe this and identify areas for future research.

This paper presents experience of using our multimodal mixed reality telecommunication system to support remote acting rehearsal. The rehearsals involved two actors located in London and Barcelona, and a director in another location in London. This triadic audiovisual telecommunication was performed in a spatial and multimodal collaborative mixed reality environment based on the “destination-vi...

Although the vast majority of research in human-computer interaction often involves only our senses of sight and hearing, with sporadic forays into touch, future laboratories used in engineering education will mostly benefit from developments beyond video and sound. Tangible and embedded interaction, augmented and mixed reality characterizes ultimate technologies for further applications in col...
متن کاملGeneric Interaction Techniques For Mobile Collaborative Mixed Reality Systems
The main characteristic of a mobile collaborative Mixed Reality (MR) system is that augmentation of the physical environment of one user occurs through available knowledge of where the user is and what the other users are doing. Links between the physical and digital worlds are no longer static but dynamically defined by users to create a collaborative augmented environment. In this article we ...

متن کاملEarth science learning in SMALLab: A design experiment for mixed reality
Conversational technologies such as email, chat rooms, and blogs have made the transition from novel communication technologies to powerful tools for learning. Currently virtual worlds are undergoing the same transition. We argue that the next wave of innovation is at the level of the computer interface, and that mixed-reality environments offer important advantages over prior technologies. Thu...
