(2004) The Advantages and Limitations of a Wearable Active Camera/Laser in Remote Collaboration. Chicago, USA: ACM Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work 2004 (CSCW 2004), 6-10 Nov 2004.http://hdl.handle.net/10092/2327The Wearable Active Camera/Laser (WACL) allows the remote experts not only to set their viewpoints into the wearers’ working place independent of their motion but also to point to real objects directly with the laser spot by controlling it through wireless network. In this paper, we examined how communication patterns differ between the WACL interface and a typical headset interface. The results have implications for improving the WACL interface so as to redress the communication asymmetries by enhancing the visual assist.enwearable active camera/laserhead-mounted display/cameragestureaugmented realityConference Contributions - OtherFields of Research::280000 Information, Computing and Communication Sciences::280100 Information Systems::280105 Interfaces and presentation (excl. 280104)Fields of Research::280000 Information, Computing and Communication Sciences::280100 Information Systems::280104 Computer-human interactionFields of Research::280000 Information, Computing and Communication Sciences::280200 Artificial Intelligence and Signal and Image Processing::280211 Virtual reality and related simulation
