Lecture | Supporting Remote Guidance Through AR-Based Sharing of Multi-Model Communication Cues

Held by:

Tony Huang, University of Sydney 

Abstract:

Many real-world scenarios require a remote expert to guide a local user in performing physical tasks, such as remote machine maintenance. To support this type of collaboration, various theories and systems have been developed. A common approach involves providing visual communication cues—such as hand gestures—within a shared visual space. These gestures can be represented in different formats, including raw or projected hands, digital gesture representations, and sketches. However, the effects of combining these gestural formats have not been fully explored or understood.
