Abstract
In this research, we explore using pointing and drawing in a remote collaboration system. Our application allows a local user with a tablet to communicate with a remote expert on a desktop computer. We compared performance in four conditions: (1) Pointers on Still Image, (2) Pointers on Live Video, (3) Annotation on Still Image, and (4) Annotation on Live Video. We found that using drawing annotations would require fewer inputs on an expert side, and would require less cognitive load on the local worker side. In a follow-on study we compared the conditions (2) and (4) using a more complicated task. We found that pointing input requires good verbal communication to be effective and that drawing annotations need to be erased after completing each step of a task.

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 ... -
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 ... -
Study of Augmented Gesture Communication Cues and View Sharing in Remote Collaboration
Kim, S.; Lee, G.; Sakata, N.; Duenser, A.; Vartiainen, E.; Billinghurst, Mark (University of Canterbury. Human Interface Technology Laboratory, 2013)In this research, we explore how different types of augmented gesture communication cues can be used under different view sharing techniques in a remote collaboration system. In a pilot study, we compared four conditions: ...
