Improving Spatial Awareness in Video Mirror-Mediated XR Telementoring through Visual Cues
Article No.: 46, Pages 1 - 2
Abstract
The quality of collaboration between an on-site novice user and a remote expert in cross-reality (XR) settings depends on mutual spatial awareness. Non-stereo video mirrors in Augmented Reality (AR) - Virtual Reality (VR) telementoring settings lack depth cues to meaningfully implement 3D interaction techniques like gesture guiding and gaze cues. This work introduces a visual cue for non-static video streams that acts as an add-on to these interaction techniques, drawing from principles of monocular depth perception. Descriptive results from a comparative within-design user study indicate that the "illumination cue" can improve spatial awareness primarily for the remote expert.
Supplemental Material
MP4 File
The video shows the view of the remote expert (using the Quest 2) during a telementoring session with a local novice using a HoloLens 2. In the role of the remote expert I explain the illumination cue for gesture guiding and for the gaze cue of the remote expert. Finally, I explain how the users were able to interact with each other during the study and show how moving their hands 'through' the virtual monitor worked.

Augmenting Virtual Spatial UIs with Physics- and Direction-Based Visual Motion Cues to Non-Disruptively Mitigate Motion Sickness
SUI '24: Proceedings of the 2024 ACM Symposium on Spatial User InteractionThe use of Virtual Reality (VR) technology in moving platforms such as vehicles can be difficult due to significant issues around motion sickness, partly due to the physical motion being occluded in VR. The use of visual cues within VR can mitigate this ...
