Abstract
Due to the rapid development in wearable computing, gestural interaction
and augmented reality in recent years, remote collaboration
has been seen as a fast growing field with many advanced designs
and implementations for a wide range of applications. Most
of existing remote guiding or collaboration solutions still rely on
specifically designed hardware systems on both helper and worker
side with limitations on usage, mobility, flexibility and portability.
Considering widespread deployment of smart mobile devices
such as smartphones and tablets in the past a few years, it already
provides us numerous potentials of migrating conventional remote
guiding solutions to such powerful platforms with the possibility
of overcoming many existing issues and limits. In this paper, we
introduce MobileHelper, a remote guiding prototype that is developed
on a tablet device with the feature of allowing helpers to use
hand gestures to guide the remote worker for various physical tasks.
The interface used on the worker side integrates a near eye display
to support mobility and real time representations of the helper’s
hand gestures using augmented reality technologies. We present
the design and features of MobileHelper along with the description
of detailed implementation of the prototype system. Stable system
performance is also reported from our preliminary internal test runs.
