Remote Collaboration With Augmented and Virtual Reality Interfaces

چکیده
Some applications require a person in a remote location (the trainer), to instruct another person (the trainee) on how to put together a number of objects according to a precise set of spatial relationships. In this paper we report the results of using a collaborative Mixed Reality application that allows the trainer to manipulate the virtual objects in a virtual environment. At the same time, the trainee observes the virtual object manipulation as means to move the real objects accordingly. The trainer uses a Virtual Reality interface and the trainee uses an Augmented Reality one. The results show that, even though the time to complete the task using the application is longer, users perceive that collaboration using a similar application in the real world could make collaboration easier.

Collaboration with Tangible Augmented Reality Interfaces
We describe a design approach, Tangible Augmented Reality, for developing interfaces for supporting face-to-face collaboration. By combining Augmented Reality techniques with Tangible User Interface elements, we can create interfaces in which users can interact with spatial data as easy as real objects. Tangible AR interfaces remove the separation between the real and virtual worlds and so enha...

Augmented Reality as an interactive real-time technology combining real and virtual objects in a real 3D space carries enormous educational potential. We describe a project (ARISE: Augmented Reality in School Environments) that aims to realise this potential by developing a collaborative, robust and affordable Augmented Reality learning platform for schools. The learning affordances of Augmente...

CSCW; in this setting computers can provide the same type of collaborative information that people have in face-to-face interactions, such as communication by object manipulation, voice and gesture [1]. Work on the DIVE project [2], GreenSpace [3] and other fully immersive multi-participant virtual environments has shown that collaborative work is indeed intuitive in such surroundings. However ...
متن کاملSymmetric Model of Remote Collaborative Mixed Reality Using Tangible Replicas
Research into collaborative mixed reality (MR) or augmented reality has recently been active. Previous studies showed that MR was preferred for collocated collaboration while immersive virtual reality was preferred for remote collaboration. The main reason for this preference is that the physical object in remote space cannot be handled directly. However, MR using tangible objects is still attr...
