Abstract
In past few years Augmented Reality (AR) technology has been applied to many industries and proved successful with helping the expansion of businesses. This thesis focuses on exploring how AR-based remote collaboration be used for supporting insurance claim processes. Previous research on remote collaboration and video conferencing have been reviewed. Following an interface design procedure, the final system components was defined and a remote assessment prototype was developed. It could especially facilitate the claim assessment timing and help to improve the communication between users. As a part of the prototype interface, the orientation compass plays a significant role for decreasing disorientation in remote perception. A formal user study was conducted to evaluate two different designs of 3D compass. The results of the user study show that the World-fixed compass has the best overall performance compared to the User-fixed compass or Without-orientation compass.

A Projected Augmented Reality System for Remote Collaboration
Tait, M.; Tsai, T.; Sakata, N.; Billinghurst, Mark; Vartiainen, E. (University of Canterbury. Electrical and Computer EngineeringUniversity of Canterbury. Human Interface Technology Laboratory, 2013)This paper describes an AR system for remote collaboration using a captured 3D model of the local user’s scene. In the system a remote user can manipulate the scene independently of the view of the local user and add ... -
Real-time Visual Representations for Mixed Reality Remote Collaboration
Gao L; Bai H; Piumsomboon T; Lee G; Lindeman RW; Billinghurst, Mark (2017)We present a prototype Mixed Reality (MR) system with a hybrid interface to support remote collaboration between a local worker and a remote expert in a large-scale work space. By combining a low-resolution 3D point-cloud ... -
Freeze view touch and finger gesture based interaction methods for handheld augmented reality interfaces
Bai, H.; Lee, G.A.; Billinghurst, Mark (University of Canterbury. Human Interface Technology Laboratory, 2012)Interaction techniques for handheld mobile Augmented Reality (AR) often focus on device-centric methods based around touch input. However, users may not be able to easily interact with virtual objects in mobile AR scenes ...
