Remote Assistance with Mixed Reality for Procedural Tasks (2208.03261v1)

Abstract: We present a volumetric communication system that is designed for remote assistance of procedural tasks. The system allows a remote expert to visually guide a local operator. The two parties share a view that is spatially identical, but for the local operator it is of the object on which they operate, while for the remote expert, the object is presented as a mixed reality "hologram". Guidance is provided by voice, gestures, and annotations performed directly on the object of interest or its hologram. At each end of the communication, spatial is visualized using mixed-reality glasses.
