Abstract
There is currently a strong need for collaborative systems with
which two or more participants interact over a distance on a task
involving tangible artifacts (e.g., a machine, a patient, a tool).
The present paper focuses on the specific category of remotecollaboration
systems where hand gestures are used by a remote
helper to assist a physically distant worker to perform manual tasks.
Existing systems use a combination of video capturing, 2D monitors
or 2D projectors, however displaying a video of the remote
workspace and allowing helpers to gesture over the video does not
provide helpers with sufficient understanding of the spatial relationships
between remote objects and between their hands and the remote
objects. In this paper we introduce our tele-presence Mixed
Reality system for remote collaboration on physical tasks based on
real-time capture and rendering of the remote workspace and of the
helper’s hands. We improve on previous 2D systems introducing
3D capturing and rendering, and exploiting the possibility offered
by the use of real 3D data to increase the feeling of immersion offered
by the system using head tracking, stereoscopic rendering,
inter-occlusion handling and virtual shadowing. We performed initial
usability test of our system to verify if users are satisfied with
the spatial awareness the system provides.
